RELIEF UNDER SECTION 158 CALCULATOR

Section 89A of ITA 1961 / ITA 2025 | Foreign Retirement Accounts | Notified Countries | DTAA Relief

About Section 89A: Introduced by Finance Act, 2021 w.e.f. AY 2022-23. Provides relief to Resident Indians (who were earlier NRIs) from double taxation on income accruing in foreign retirement / provident accounts maintained in notified countries (USA, Canada, UK — Notification No. 05/2022 dt. 04.04.2022).
Benefit: Income from such accounts shall be taxable in India in the year in which it is taxable in the country where the account is maintained (typically on withdrawal/distribution), thus deferring Indian taxation till then.
Examples: USA: 401(k), Traditional IRA, Roth IRA (contributions phase) | UK: Individual Savings Account (ISA) | Canada: Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP)
Mandatory: File Form 40 online on Income Tax Portal before filing ITR to select option under Section 158 relief read with Rule 74. Option once exercised will apply to all subsequent tax years and cannot be subsequently withdrawn.
