Taxability of Salary earned in Qatar


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
An individual working as a chef in Qatar since August 2019 is considered a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) for the financial year 2022-23. As an NRI, their salary earned in Qatar is not taxable in India. While sending money to their mother's account in India is generally not an issue due to the blood relation, it's important to understand the specific conditions for NRI status and potential tax implications if certain criteria are not met.

27 April 2023 Sir, As I go through below mentioned conditions, my brother is not meeting 1st condition but he is meeting 2nd condition as he was in India in last 4 preceding years before of last FY. Please clarify this

A taxpayer would qualify as a resident of India if he satisfies one of the following 2 conditions :

1. Stay in India for a year is 182 days or more or

2. Stay in India for the immediately 4 preceding years is 365 days or more and 60 days or more in the relevant financial year

27 April 2023 The query may be raised but the amount is not taxable, as per blood relation between son & mother.

27 April 2023 The second condition has a provision of 120 days when left for employment, and his Indian income exceeding Rs. 15 lakhs. If the condition is breached, the aggregate income would be taxable in India; otherwise not.
