Questions from Kochi
I returned to Kochi after working in the Gulf. Is my foreign income taxed?
In the year you return, you may still be a non-resident or become “resident but not ordinarily resident” (RNOR). As RNOR, income earned abroad is generally not taxed in India for a few years. Your status depends on days spent in India, so we calculate it year by year from your passport stamps.
Can I file my ITR online from Kochi without visiting an office?
Yes. Share your documents on WhatsApp or email, a tax expert calls you, prepares the return, sends you the computation for approval and files it. Most people in Kochi never need to visit.
Is HRA exemption 50% or 40% of salary in Kochi?
Kochi is not a metro city for HRA purposes, so the limit is 40% of basic salary + DA (old regime) — even though it is a large city.
Is professional tax deducted in Kerala?
Yes, Kerala levies professional tax. It is deducted by your employer and is allowed as a deduction from salary under Section 16(iii) — in the old regime.
