This discussion clarifies the taxability of interest earned on an NRE account when an NRI becomes a resident in India. Generally, this interest becomes taxable upon returning. However, a specific exception is noted for individuals working on ships, as their continuous presence outside India might affect residency rules and the applicability of the 182-day stay requirement.

Mr A was nri in f.y 2020-21. He became resident for year 2021-22. Now the question is- does the interest credited in year 2021-22 in his nre account is taxable?

however dont you think in case of person working in ships , they dont ' come ' to india , as they live in india itself, so the 2nd exception is not applicable to him and in his case it shall be 182 days stay rule preceding to financial year shallbe applicable.
