But how to file ITR 2 for NRI? The ITR-2 form cannot be used for business or profession. They must file ITR-3 instead.
What is the Process of ITR 2 Filing for NRI?
To begin, determine your residential status under Section 6 of the Income Tax Act to confirm if you're an NRI.
Next, access the Indian Income Tax Department’s e-Filing portal (

) the online facility for ITR-2 has been active since July 18, 2025.
NRIs can also opt to use the Excel utility offline and then upload it, as per the updated process for AY 2025 to 26.
Important updates this year include:
NRIs must report Indian assets and liabilities only if gross taxable income exceeds Rs1 crore foreign assets need not be disclosed
The form now segregates capital gains based on whether the sale occurred before or after July 23, 2024, due to updated rates.
The e-filing process typically involves uploading prefilled Part A and various schedules (e.g., House Property, Capital Gains, Foreign Income), completing disclosures, computing tax, paying any balance, and then submitting and e-verifying your return via methods such as Aadhaar OTP, EVC, or net banking.
