23 February 2018 I am a private company employee and on company's instruction, I went to Dubai and worked their for more than six months. I received salary in Dubai there for more than six months in foreign currency. Whether there is any special rule regarding taxability of the said salary income ? Is there any benefit of income tax in India ?

09 March 2018 depends on whether this period was within the same financial year or spread over two financial years. In case the period is spent within the same financial year, your tax status might be "non-resident" and accordingly there would be no taxability in India on the salary received in Dubai.
