Query regarding ITR filing for NRI

[Macklon]

Hi there. Can anyone help me please. I am a seafarer so as per required rules my status is an NRI. I have NRE accounts as well. Do I need to file ITR even if my income is from outside India?

I do not have any income within India like rent etc. Interest earned in banks NRO account TDS forms are filled by banks.

Kindly please assist.

Thanks.

If your only income is interest from the NRO account and TDS has been deducted correctly, but the total income is below the exemption limit, filing may not be mandatory, but it’s often advisable to file to claim a refund if excess TDS has been deducted.
