DTAA Tax Credit
Indian residents earning foreign income (US dividends, UK rental etc.) get a foreign tax credit under DTAA, capped at the Indian tax on the same income. Excess foreign tax is lost.
E.g. US 25-30% withholding on dividends.
File Form 67 with your ITR, attach foreign tax payment proof. Credit allowed only against tax on the same income — not against general Indian tax.
