- 3. United Kingdom evidenceKeep HMRC Self Assessment and PAYE records and the relevant GBP-to-INR conversion record with the transaction documents.

Country-specific answers
Start with the situation you actually have
UK pension, SIPP and Section 158 (formerly Section 89A)
A UK pension or SIPP needs account-level Section 158 (formerly Section 89A) analysis. Indian deferral is conditional on the notified-country and account facts, residence when the account was opened, foreign taxation timing and the required Indian option.
UK foreign tax credit and Form 44 (formerly Form 67)
UK tax deducted or paid should be reconciled to the income taxable in India, the applicable treaty provision and the Indian tax attributable to the same source. A PAYE deduction does not automatically equal the Indian credit.
