Residential status calculation

Agreed with Mr. Amit...

You are a Resident for the A.Y. 2011-12.

Thanks,

So if i am resident for the AY 2011-12, do I need to pay taxes again in India for the 5 months of salary which I received abroad  and already paid taxes there?

As per Income Tax Act, u need to pay taxes on that income as well, but u should also check Double Tax Avoidance Agreement between India and the country, where u received that salary. Most probably, u will not be taxed twice.

If there is Double Tax Avoidance Agreement between India and that Country, then u have to show the Proof of Tax Deduction of that Country to avoid tax deduction in India.

You are Resident and Ordinarily Resident....check the relevant DTAA that India have with the concerned nation....provisions of Income Tax Act, 1961 or DTAA whichever are more beneficial will apply...in case their is no DTAA, then relief u/s 91 may be claimed.

Can you please tell me the process for DTAA? Where I have to mention the Income earned abroad in the Tax Return and where to get the DTAA form?

Thanks

DTAA is an Agreement (Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement).

This you will get in Income Tax Website...
