Quick Summary

When calculating your period of stay in India for tax residency purposes, the official dates of arrival and departure are determined by the immigration stamps in your passport. These stamps reflect the actual day you pass through immigration upon entering or exiting the country. This date is based on the local Indian time schedule, regardless of the time difference in your departure country.

02 December 2024 The date of arrival and departure from India is determined by the stamps in your passport that you receive upon passing through immigration. Specifically, the date stamped on your passport reflects the actual day you enter or exit the country, not the date you board your flight

02 December 2024 Thank you so much sir.Just a confusion, The immigration date is the local date of the country, right? For example if someone reached India on 30 December but it's still 29 December in USA. 30 December will be the day of arrival as marked in the entry stamp, Right?
