File return in India for Dual tax
Posted: Sat Jan 10, 2015 1:58 am
Hi,
I have been working in India since past 4 years. Same company sent me to client location in US Feb'2013. I have been getting Indian salary in my Indian account (ICICI Bank) as well as US allowances in Bank of America. My offer letter as well W2 form shows Indian+US salary. Tax was deducted on that total amount showing in W2 form in US. As well as in India, my company is deducting tax from my Indian monthly salary.
Since tax is deducted twice on same amount, I will have file a return in India for getting my tax back, as I have already paid that tax on that salary in US. It will be 2 years (2013 and 2014), for which I will need to ask for return. My questions are -
- Is there any time/year limit, after which it is difficult (more process) to get tax returns ? For example, is it ok, if I go India after 4 years and then file to get my tax back ?
- Tax on my Indian Salary is around 1.5 lac INR. Usually how much time it is taking to get it back ?
- Few of my friends are suggesting to file it here in US, because process will be faster, but nobody did in this way. I am unsure, if there is any complication.
Regards
