vs Section 192A?
192 is salary TDS; 192A is 10% on taxable EPF withdrawal.
RNOR salary?
RNOR may exempt foreign salary — Indian salary still under Section 192.
Form 16 delay?
Employer must issue by 15 June — chase HR if missing.
TDS mismatch?
Compare Form 16 with Form 26AS — raise with employer if gap.
Old regime?
Declare regime choice to employer at start of FY for correct slab.
Remote foreign salary?
Foreign employer payment may fall under Section 195 if still NRI portion.
Your tax year is already running.
RNOR status, exit timing, and DTAA benefits all depend on decisions you make before you land. Don't guess.
