10 April 2013 As you are a resident in India, the entire income from any source in the world is taxable in India.
I do not see any benefits available from this.

30 May 2013 You have to go through your letter of appointment. If the place of work is outside India then you have to open an account out of India and the money should be transferred in that account. In this way no tax in India as you have not rendered any services in India.

If you are working in India and the employer is sending money in your account then the Indian Income Tax Act will apply to you and you can claim the benefits as available by paying money in LIC, PF or PPF etc. the balance amount is liable for tax in India.
