Thank you for the kind words. A non-resident as per FEMA can only maintain non-resident accounts (e.g. NRO/NRE etc.) - he cannot maintain a resident account - so, maintaining a resident account will be a FEMA violation in the first place.
Both NRE (or for that matter NRO) or a resident account is an Indian account - irrespective of which account the salary is credited in, ITD can try to tax it (as explained in my previous response)
Thanks!
