19 February 2009 Dear All

I have a case where the assessee is a NRI and he has only income from capital gains in the previous year. Can he claim basic exemption limit of Rs 1,50,000 on such transaction?

Thanks

Thanks for such a speedy reply. If you don't mind can I also have some case law/reference under the Act where it is specific there is no exemption.
