12 March 2009 No Such Income shall not be taxable provided assessee is not ordinary resident in India during the year in which the salary is earned . Since salary it is not earned in India it does not accrue or arise in India. And mere remittance personally (i.e. bringing personally) through any other mode (e.g. through bank, daft. Travelers cheque) shall not constitute accrue or arise in India. For reference see

Section [Sec. 9(1)(ii)]

- shall be deemed to accrue or arise in India.
