Quick Summary
An individual working on an Indian flagged ship requires 182 days of work outside India to qualify for Non-Resident Indian (NRI) status and income tax exemption under Section 10. Due to lockdown restrictions, they are short by 7 days, potentially incurring significant Tax Deducted at Source (TDS). The discussion explores whether any relief or relaxation can be claimed under existing tax laws, with a suggestion to represent the issue to the Finance Minister.

I think you should tweet to our finace minister..
As per present law , you can't get relief,

you have to represent to FM
