Frequently Asked Questions
No matter what your source of income is, we've got you covered. There's a plan for everybody!
Do I need to file Form 10F every year?⌄
Yes. Form 10F is valid for one financial year only and must be refiled annually, along with a fresh TRC, even if your residency status hasn't changed.
Can I file Form 10F after my income has already been paid?⌄
You can, but it's not ideal. Filing Form 10F before the payment is made allows the payer to apply the lower DTAA rate at source. Filing afterward means you'll likely need to claim the excess TDS back through your income tax return instead.
Is Form 10F the same for individuals and companies?⌄
The form structure is the same, but the details you provide differ — individuals give personal details like nationality and date of birth, while companies provide incorporation details and country of registration.
What if my TRC and Form 10F details don't match?⌄
Mismatches between your TRC and Form 10F — such as differing address details or residency periods — are a common reason for rejection or scrutiny. Double-check every field against your TRC before submitting.
Does filing Form 10F guarantee a lower TDS rate?⌄
Not automatically. Form 10F and your TRC establish your eligibility, but you'll typically also need to submit both documents directly to your Indian payer (bank, tenant, or company) so they apply the correct reduced rate at the time of deduction.
