Dear All,

 

I am NRI & I was living outside India for 17 years. From 1 - April -2016, I moved to India temporarily as I plan to migrate to another new country by end of 2016. In Summary my total stay in India is from April 2016 ~  until end of November 2016.

 

In India, I am working as a consultant for foreign based consultancy service. I am working as contractor for that company. I am not employee for that company. They pay my professional fee in USD. I receive that fee in my Indian NRI bank account every month.

 

Do I need to pay the tax for this income? What is my residential status from April 2016 till November 2016?

 

Thank you.
