Form 10F of Income Tax

All you need to know about Form 10F

What is Form 10F?  

Form 10F is an important document under the Indian Income Tax Act required for claiming relief under a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA). It is filed by non-residents or foreign entities who earn income from India but do not have a Permanent Account Number (PAN).

The purpose of Form 10F is to provide key taxpayer information—such as nationality, tax identification number, and country of residence—to the Indian Income Tax Department. Filing it ensures that tax deductions in India are correctly adjusted based on treaty benefits. To claim DTAA benefits, Form 10F is usually filed along with a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) and supporting documents like Form 6166 (for US taxpayers) or Form 8802 application (for obtaining the TRC from the IRS).

With the Income Tax Department mandating electronic filing of Form 10F through the e-filing portal, Ebizfiling ensures your filing is accurate, verified, and compliant with current income tax rules.

Who Needs Form 10F Filing?  

  • Foreign companies earning income from India through contracts, royalties, or fees.

  • Non-resident individuals receiving professional fees, rent, or capital gains from India.

  • Freelancers or consultants abroad offering services to Indian clients.

  • Overseas investors receiving dividends or interest from Indian entities.

  • Entities under DTAA-covered nations seeking tax relief on Indian income

Consequences of not filing Form 10F timely   

If a non-resident taxpayer fails to file Form 10F, they may face the following issues:

  • Loss of DTAA Benefits: Non residents cannot claim tax exemptions or reduced tax rates.

  • Double Taxation: Income may be taxed both in India and the taxpayer’s home country.

  • Compliance Issues: Non filing may lead to notices, penalties, or delays in tax refunds.

  • Delays in Refunds: Excess TDS deduction can make refund claims slow and complex.

FAQ

FAQs for Form 10F Filing

Get answers to all your queries

  • Who should file Form 10F?

    Any non-resident individual or foreign entity earning income from India and seeking DTAA relief must file Form 10F to claim reduced tax rates.

  • Is Form 10F mandatory for all foreign entities?

    Yes, if you are a non-resident receiving income from India and claiming DTAA benefits, Form 10F filing is compulsory under the Income Tax Act.

  • Can Form 10F be filed manually?

    No, the Income Tax Department requires Form 10F to be submitted only through the official e-filing portal using your credentials.

  • What is the link between TRC and Form 10F?

    Form 10F works along with the Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) to confirm foreign residency and qualify for DTAA benefits in India.

  • What is Form 6166 or Form 8802?

    These are U.S. tax forms — Form 8802 is used to apply for a Tax Residency Certificate, and Form 6166 is the certificate issued by the IRS.

  • Can an Indian agent file Form 10F on my behalf?

    Yes, provided you give a signed authorization letter allowing the agent or consultant to represent you before the tax authorities.

  • What details are included in Form 10F?

    It includes nationality, tax identification number, address, country of residence, and tax period covered by your TRC.

  • What if I don’t have a PAN in India?

    You can still file Form 10F if you qualify for PAN exemption under DTAA rules; our experts verify this before submission.

  • How long does it take to file Form 10F?

    Once all documents are ready, the filing and verification process usually takes 2–3 business days.

  • What happens if Form 10F is not filed?

    If you skip filing, your Indian payer must deduct TDS at a higher rate since DTAA benefits cannot be granted.

  • Can Form 10F be revised?

    Yes, if you make a mistake in the initial filing, a corrected version can be uploaded through the e-filing portal.

  • How do I get a TRC from my country?

    You must apply to your country’s tax authority — for example, U.S. residents apply to the IRS using Form 8802.

  • Do I need to notarize Form 10F?

    No, since filing is online, notarization or physical attestation is not required by the Income Tax Department.

  • Can Indian residents file Form 10F?

    No, this form is only for non-residents who wish to claim benefits under a tax treaty with India.

  • What is DTAA?

    DTAA stands for Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement, which prevents the same income from being taxed in both countries.

  • Is digital signature required for Form 10F?

    Yes, if the individual or entity is registered to use a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) for e-filing.

  • Do I need a TRC every year?

    Yes, the TRC must be renewed annually because tax residency and treaty eligibility apply for each financial year.

  • Can I file without a TRC?

    No, the TRC is mandatory for claiming DTAA relief; without it, Form 10F alone is not valid.

  • Can Form 10F be filed in paper format for old years?

    Only for years before e-filing became compulsory; current filings must be submitted online.

  • Why choose Ebizfiling for Form 10F?

    We handle TRC coordination, DTAA review, and complete online filing to ensure full compliance and quick approval.
