Hello Prasanth,
Thank you so much for the video. However, I don’t understand where I need to declare the interest I got from my NRE account. Do you know if the NRE interest is also taxed at 30% in France? Thank you for your help.
Hello, I have explained about declaring NRE and NRO bank interests here

Hello ,
I came across some articles stating I could file my taxes for past years if I haven’t done it. I haven’t filed for the past 2 years since I had 0 income however is it possible to declare it now? I filed my taxes for the first time this year for the current fiscal year. Will there be any consequences or issues in doing so?
Thanks!
