Hi DIVYA.., sorry for earlier post, it will be considered as INDIAN ORIGIN...

 

AND THANKS MR. Ordinarily resident Evil
 

In my thot Dhiraj is rite.

But Dhiraj Bhai,

 

The Income Tax Act says

in explanation (b) to section 6(1),

that PIO means a person who is covered in explanation to clause (e) of sec 115WC, and that brings us to;

 

Explanation.-A person shall be deemed to be of Indian origin if he, or either of his parents or any of his grand-parents, was born in undivided India

This provision i think can be applied literally without making references to FEMA for definition of PIO.. cos its a tax statute, and the person is of indian origin.... 

hey divya

In simple words if the assesee's grandparents / parents was born in undivided** india then the assesee would be of indian origin  

** born before 1947 (undivided india)

In the given case the assessee shall not be considered as indian origin.

Hi Divya,

He is not a Indian origin as neither of his parents nor the assessee born in undivided India( before 1947).

One person can be considered as Indiasn origin any of the three generations( assesee, his parents, grand parents) should born in Undivided india ( before 1947).

No ! he/she is not a PERSON OF INDIAN ORIGIN for the purpose of Section 115C(e) of Income Tax Act, 1961 because of the explanation.

 

Explanation to Section 115C(e) - A person shall be deemed to be of Indian origin if he, or either of his parents or any of his grand-parents, was born in undivided India

friends please refer to this

"Notification no.FEMA 21/2000-RB dated May 3,2000 viz. Foriegn Exchange Managment ( Acquistion and TRansfer of Immovable property in India), Regulations, 2000." According to the above ntofication ' a person of Indian origin' means an individual (not being a citizen of Pakistan or Bangladesh or Afghanistan or China or Iran or Nepal or Bhutan) who (i)   at any time, held an Indian passport or (ii) who or either of whose father or whose grandfather was a citizen of India by virtue of constitution of India or the Citizenship Act,1955

If a person is deemed to be of indian origin if he or any of his parents or grand- parents were born in Undivided india.

Isn't there any definition regarding undivided India. To me, it looks like whole of Modern India, and includes Bangladesh & Pakistan before partition.
