Since this person is NRI, in that case income can be taxable in either of the following 2 cases:-

1) If it is earned in India (Salary is said to be earned where services are rendered, therefore in present case this condition is not fulfilled)

2) if income is received in India (Please provide this information)

If In this case Income is received in India, then IT BECOMES TAXABLE AS PER INDIAN INCOME TAX ACT..

Deduction of TDS in India will depend upon relevant DTAA..If there is NO DTAA IN THIS REGARD THEN HIS SALARY WILL BE TAXABLE IN INDIA..(RELIEF U/S 91 CANNOT BE CLAIMED IN THIS CASE SINCE HIS STATUS IS NR)
