03 November 2012 Given : The person has gone through a COMPANY in Mumbai. Please check if he falls under "Officials of the United Nations shall" as per sec 18b of the Act mentioned by you.

Given2: since he is resident for 2010-11 and 2011-13. Please confirm whether he is resident or non resident. If he is non resident in India for 2011-12, his income earned outside India (i.e. Sudan) is not taxable in India.

05 November 2012 thanks amol ji
sir he is a non resident for the year 2011-2012 thus his salary is not taxable in india.


and sir for the year 2010-2011 he is a resident in india and recieved salary in sudan form united nations .

but sir how to confirm will he be placed in the catogery of the officials of united nations or not.

sir according to my analysis :: his job in sudan is under control and supervision of united nations and no interference is from his indian company ,thus as such employer employee status exist between him and united naitons.so he should be considered as an empoyee of united naions for tax purposes...

am i right or wrong please clarify experts.

05 November 2012 Normally the arrangements made by UNO are other way round. It entersinto agreement with the concerned EMPLOYER. In your case, please ensure this agreement, if any between the employer company and UNO. If this is not done, then there has to have an agreement between the person and UNO. This will make the relation CLEAR. Request you to revert.

05 November 2012 thanks amol ji.
