Tax on Income earned by foreign national in India

This query is : Resolved 

16 October 2008 Hi Experts,
One of my friend is foreign national and is a doctor by profession. He is currently working with a reputed Hospital as a consultant. He is married to an Indian and has completed a stay of 6 yrs in India. He has alo got a 10 yrs old son.

He wants to know the following:

# Does he requires an okay from an Govt Authority / Medical Council of India to earn in India?
# Under which section of IT act is his income taxable?
# Can he start his own private practice as a doctor?

thanks,
dkojha


16 October 2008 1. As he works in a reputed hospital in India, obviously he must have had approval from IMC? Please clarify.

2.Please refer to sections 4, 5 and 6.

3. Follows from Q1.

16 October 2008 He requires IMA approval which he would got earlier itself when functioning from Hospital in India.

You are saying consultant, therefore he will be taxed as professional Income from Profession. Section 28 onwards.

He can, if approved by IMA.
