In Canadian tax law, the 90% rule allows non-residents to claim full federal tax credits if 90% or more of their world income is from Canadian sources, otherwise, credits are prorated.

Non-resident Indians (NRIs) are taxed on income earned or collected in India. This could be from sources like property rent, share dividends, and investment and savings capital gains, if over a specified limit. Income earned outside India is not taxable in India.
However, you may qualify to exclude your foreign earnings from income up to an amount that is adjusted annually for inflation ($107,600 for 2020, $108,700 for 2021, $112,000 for 2022, and $120,000 for 2023). In addition, you can exclude or deduct certain foreign housing amounts.

However, their obligation to file hinges on their total income generated in India during a specific financial year.
