Basic exemption whether applicable to non residents

As per my knowledge the basic exemption limit (1,80,000) also covers non resident as it is not mentioned resident individual.

yes basic exemption limt of Rs 180000 is applicable to non resident .

It is residue limit so it covers non resident also....But take into consideration following points for NON RESIDENT :-

1. The basic exemption limit in case of non resident will be available for only normal rate of income i.e. non resident does not enjoy shifting benefit unlike resident individuals............

2. Incomes taxable at special rate will be straight forward taxable.

Example :- Suppose Mr. x, non resident has following incomes :-

1. Income from Business & Profession  -  150000

2. Long term capital Gain on sale of Land - 50000

Ans :- Taxable income would be here 50000 ltcg because b&p income wiil be covered under basic exemption limit still Mr.x have balance limit available 30000 but he can not use it against Ltcg on Land

Tax = 20% * 50000

If mr x is resident then taxable income will be only 20000 and tax = 20% * 20000 because Mr. x here enjoys shifting benefit of 30000.
