Income tax for salary earned outside india

Hi,

Greetings.

Although I had a contract of 9 months, I worked only for 2 months and the project got scrapped. I am paid for working in abroad only for a period of 2 months. Rest of the time I did not work in any company (I was jobless). Do I still need to pay the income tax for the 2 months salary?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Fahim
