02 April 2020 It will depend upon your residential status whether you are liable to file your Income tax Return or not.
For how many days you were in India in FY 2019-20?

02 April 2020 Since you have been in UAE for more than 183 days you are treated as Resident of UAE by the virtue of Double Tax Avoidance Treaty between India and UAE.
Your stay in India is not more than 182 days. Your status is of NRI. You are not required to file ITR in India in the given situation.

03 April 2020 Where a Resident does not have any taxable income in India, a tax filing requirement arises if the individual has any assets outside of India.
There is an exemption from reporting foreign asset which was acquired while the foreign national was an NR in India and from which no income is earned during the financial year. The exemption is applicable only to employment, business or student visa holders.
