The purpose of determining residential status is not to harass the new students to this subject. It is having a more important objective to tax the income which is being earned in India.
.
Example- Mr. John is an American Professor.
His Income there in US is $200000/-
.
He visits India and delivers lectures in India. He gets 500000/- during his 15 days tour.
.
Income Tax is levied in both US and India.
.
Mr. John's Income of Rs. 500000/- only is taxable in India. This is due to the fact that he is non resident. However , due to the same fact- on his US income tax can not be levied by the Indian Govt.
.
This is just an example to start thinking from multiple angles, the importance will automatically be understood.
.
For Firm,s AOP, Company and all other persons, there are certain prescribed criteria -for deciding the residential status.
