I am providing a consulting service to a client in Abudhabi from 01-Mar-16 to 13-Dec-16 and earn from this. They deposit into my NRI account. During this period I am out of India for 145 days. From 14-Dec-16 I am going to join in a Company in India and they will cut TDS and give me Form-16 at the end of FY.
Do i need to pay Income tax for the money i earned in Abudhabi ? Please suggest.

Sir, As i read if i stay more than 182 days outside India, i will be NRI and my income will not be taxable in India. 145 + 40 = 185 days in a FY i will be staying outside the country.

Thanks sir for your reply. Though i provide consultancy services I am on working visa. Actually I am employed by a company abroad as a consultant.
