The tax liability depends on the type of income earned—such as salary, interest, capital gains, or rental income—and whether tax has already been deducted at source (TDS). To ensure compliance and claim eligible refunds, NRIs must file their ITR accurately within the due date prescribed by the Income Tax Department.

An income mismatch in ITR filing occurs when the income declared by a taxpayer does not align with the data available to the Income Tax Department through sources such as Form 16, Form 26AS, AIS, or TIS.
