09 February 2026 Indian Citizen employed outside india in a foreign ship. During FY 2025 26 his estimated days in India will be exactly 182 days. So to reduce it below 182 days can he travel to short trip vacation outside India for 2 days. His indian income is below 15 lacs.

09 February 2026 Yes.
If total stay becomes 181 days or less, he will qualify as Non-Resident, assuming other conditions are satisfied.
Even 1-day reduction works legally.
