Greetings! I am a seafarer who has remained outside India to maintain my NRI status. In the new ITR 2 form, noticed a new item added to schedule Part A-General, which requires furnishing of jurisdiction of residence and corresponding taxpayer identification number. Please clarify what must be written for a seafarer who sails on foreign flag sailing vessels in international waters. Your advice on this matter will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance
