For tax reasons, the certificate of residence confirms the location of counter party’s registered office. On the taxpayer’s request, the document is issued by the tax authorities of the country of residency.
The definitions in the PIT Act and CIT Act are of a general nature and do not specify all of the formal requirements that such a certificate must meet.
The document should be issued by a competent foreign office, according to Polish tax authorities, and its contents should clearly show the tax residence of a specific entity as well as the date of issue or validity duration.
However, not all countries offer resident cards that match these criteria. Please keep in mind that not all documentation produced by foreign tax authorities are recognized by Polish tax authorities.
Confirmation of VAT registration, a foreign counter party’s tax identification number, or its legal form does not satisfy the statutory requirements for a certificate of residence.
The following are the incomes that are normally covered by the DTAA and on which NRIs can claim relief:
One must read the DTAA treaty between India and their country of residence to determine the TDS rates that have been agreed upon between them.
To take advantage of lower TDS rates, assesses must submit a tax residency certificate, declaration form 10F, and a copy of their PAN card to the appropriate institution.
In the event of TDS on rental income, NRIs must file an application with the jurisdictional tax officer under section 195(3) in order to get a certificate of NON-deduction of TDS or Lower TDS.
However, keep in mind that this is only a reduction in TDS in the source country, and this will have to be shown at the time of tax filing with the resident country, and the remaining taxes will have to be paid according to the Tax rules in that country. However, due to the DTAA, the TDS deduction can be claimed as a Tax Credit in that jurisdiction.
There is also a certain amount of income that is not taxed in the nation of origin. Refer to the agreement or get advice from an expert on the issue.

To get a TRC, you must submit your application in Form 10FA to your Assessing Officer, who will then issue a TRC in Form 10FB.
The documents that must be submitted with the Form are not specified. It’s a good idea to include any documents that can back up the information provided in the application. If necessary, the AO may request additional papers.

Conclusion:
The DTAA is an excellent tax planning tool. It’s up to you to figure out how it pertains to you and whether or not it’ll be beneficial to you. More than 90 nations have signed double taxation avoidance agreements with India.
And each agreement is different, rates are different, and what happens depends on this particular agreement with your country of residence.
The income tax officer (international tax), which is usually issued within a week, is asked to obtain a certificate in India. It does not involve filing fees or other costs.
The certificate of tax resident helps prevent double income taxation. For a resident of Indian countries his world income is taxable, and the foreign country also charges tax on the income earned in that country at a concessional tax rate according to the DTAA.
