DTAA (Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement) is a tax treaty between two countries that ensures a person or business does not pay tax twice on the same income — once in India (source country) and again in their home country (residence country).
India has signed DTAA treaties with 90+ countries, including the USA, UK, UAE, Singapore, Germany, France, Australia, Canada and more. These treaties are the backbone of international tax structuring in India and play a key role in tax treaty planning for inbound investment.
1: Unilateral DTAA: Relief granted by India even if there is no treaty with the other country. This helps taxpayers claim tax relief under DTAA in India using Indian domestic law.
2: Bilateral DTAA: Mutual agreement between India and another country. This is the most commonly used structure for DTAA benefits for NRIs & foreign companies receiving income from India.

These are normally required before filing Indian tax returns (July 31 for individuals and October 31 for companies, unless extended). Our Form 10F & TRC support for DTAA ensures you never miss these deadlines.
