<h1>Non-residents can now receive tax refunds in foreign bank accounts, thanks to updated Indian tax return forms for 2017-18.</h1> Non-residents encountering difficulties in receiving tax refunds due to the absence of an Indian bank account now have a new option. The income tax department has updated its return forms for the Assessment Year 2017-18 to allow non-residents, who are claiming refunds and do not have an Indian bank account, to optionally provide details of one foreign bank account. This change addresses concerns raised by non-residents and facilitates the direct credit of refunds. Non-residents with an Indian bank account or those not claiming refunds are not required to report foreign bank account details.
