Quick Summary
An Indian national working in Kuwait for 175 days in the current financial year, with their salary held in an NRE account, is seeking clarity on Indian income tax. Based on their previous stays abroad, they might be considered a Resident and Ordinarily Resident (ROR) for tax purposes, which could make their global income taxable in India. The distinction between temporary stays and employment abroad is crucial for determining tax residency.

Need to check earlier four years stay & 7 years stay in India to decide residential status..

If you are resident and ordinarily resident then global income is taxable.

If you are NRI then mere remittance to India is not taxable
Sir i checked earlier 4 year. it is only 300days in abroad in last four years.
Hello,

Was it temporary stay in Abroad or for employment out side India??


1. An Indian citizen who has left India for the purpose of employment in foreign, or

2. An Indian Citizen or person of Indian origin who comes to visit India.

Thus in these cases, if person stays in India for a period of 182 days or more in the concerned F.Y., he is said to be Resident in India.



It seems you are looking like resident and ordinarily resident for the purpose of income tax ..

If you went to abroad on deputation except honorarium , global income is taxable...
Thank you sir for your help
