19 January 2022 As per Section 6(6)(a) of Income Tax Act, 1961 an individual is a NOR if an individual who has been a non-resident in India in 9 out of 10 previous years preceding that year, or has during the seven previous years preceding that year been in India for a period of 729 days or less.
Do you mean to say the person is not ordinary resident as per the said definition?
If yes, sec. 194-IA would be applicable.
