Dear Experts,

I have minimal knowledge about taxes as I do not belong to number crunching field, but I would surely like to get help from your quality advices here.

So, here is my simple case(which I am sure you must have seen already many times):

I am Indian and I was not in India during 01-april-2009 ~ 31-march-2010, as I am regular employee in country ABC. I receive my salary in local currency and they deduct income-tax ( other taxes too ).So, I guess it means I pay taxes to goevernment of country ABC. I visited my home country India for around 15 days during this period.

Now, please help me to know, that do I need to do something in India like filing ITR etc. or anything else which I don't know.

Thanks.

Thanks Pankaj for superfast and concise response.

And, I want to know, will my PAN card (which I had when I was working in India)still valid? Can I still use it as my Identity Proof whenever I visit India? And, when I settle back in India, can I still use it normally, or I have to get it modified or fresh issue of new PAN card?

You can still use it but one thing for future keep in mind from next year if you don’t have any income from india just file NIL ITR in india so that government will have your all years records..
