Thanks for reply Sir. In case ITR 1 was filed in last 2 AY, what impact will it have?

No impact. Non resident has to file ITR 2 only.

Sorry to miss out on question, I meant to ask, despite being Non resident (having tax free income) in last 2 AY, ITR-1 was filed. Any impact of this. And also, what if NRI seafarer is receiving income in Saving account of Indian bank? Please guide.

No problem now but you should have filed ITR 2. No problem in receiving salary in Indian bank account.
