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

Check your residential status for the financial year as per IT act, and then decide.

Depends on your residential status and whether your salary is more than the basic exemption limit or not??

Thank you all for your quick responses.

As mentioned earlier, I was jobless and stayed in India (except for 2 and half months). I believe my residential status would not be counted as NRI.

Regards,

In that case if your salary exceeds 2.5 lakhs then you need to file your IT return.

Thank you.

Thank you.
