Hi

 

Please submit the response on the e-compliance portal.

It is not mandatory to file ITR. However, it is advisable to do so.

Since you both are NRI, ITR 2 will be applicable.

 

We may assist you in the above compliance and filing.

No need to file ITR by wife even though the property is in your wife name. The property is entirely funded from your income and total rent is less than exemption limit. Please call for detailed discussion and assistance for online reply. I may assist you in online reply.

A tenant who pays rent to an NRI owner must remember to deduct TDS at 30%. The income can be received to an account in India or the NRI’s account in the country he is currently residing.

Hence you will be required to file ITR 1. If your tenant has not deducted TDS, he should deduct it and deposit with interest.

Hello,

 

You would be required to submit your response on the E-compliance portal. It is not mandatory to file the ITR for your wife, but advisable to file. ITR-2 would be applicable.

I hope this answer satisfies your requirements.
