He has to file a return of income in India also for the income received in india.

The tax paid in japan for indian income is of no use. he has to pay it in india also. He can file revised ROI in japan excluding indian income.

Plz consider the taxability of income(accru, arise in India)

DTAA is not applicable as that levys single point of Tax in a country. In DTAA you need not pay tax again in India/foreign country. It will be taxed only once.

In the case asked, assessee received some income in Japan & some India.
