Foreign Tax Credit lets a resident taxpayer offset Indian tax liability on foreign income against tax already paid abroad on that same income, based on DTAA provisions or, where no treaty applies, Rule 128. Form 67 is how that credit is actually claimed and documented.

Filing it late, or missing it entirely, has historically been a common reason FTC claims get rejected, even when the underlying entitlement is genuine, so treating the return due date as the real deadline for this form (not just for the return itself) matters.

This is a quick-reference summary, not a filing walkthrough. Due dates shown are the statutory defaults and can be extended in practice; applicability depends on your specific registration, turnover, and entity type. For general informational purposes only, not professional tax or legal advice.

Claiming Foreign Tax Credit Through Form 67

Paying tax abroad doesn't automatically reduce your Indian tax bill. Claiming that credit back runs through Form 67, and missing the filing window is where most people lose it.
