    An NRI can also file an ITR 3, which is for the NRI professional income or business professionals.  

    If an NRI: 

    • Running a business in India and freelancing in India. 
    • If an NRI is a partner with a company or a professional Indian firm. 
    • If an NRI has an income source under ITR 2 in India from a business or salaried profession, then they must fill ITR 3.
