Determining whether he/she is resident in India – 

A person is said to be resident in India if he satisfies at least one of the following conditions-

(i) he is in India for a period of 182 days or more in the year

(ii) he is in India for a period of 60 days or more during the year and 365 days or more during the four years immediately preceding the previous year.

The aforesaid period of 60 days is extended to 182 days in case of an Indian citizen who leaves India during the year for the purpose of employment outside India or an Indian citizen who leaves India during the year as a member of the crew of an Indian ship. For this purpose the requirement is leaving India for purposes of employment ( the employment may be in India or may be outside India).

The aforesaid period of 60 days is extended to 182 days also if Indian citizen or a person of Indian origin comes to a visit in India. A person is deemed to be of Indian origin if he, or either of his parents or any of his grand parents, was born in undivided India.

If a person doesn’t satisfies any of the above two conditions then he is non resident.

DETERMINING WHETHER HE/SHE IS ORDINARILY RESIDENT OR NOT ORDINARILY RESIDENT

A resident individual is treated as Resident and ordinarily resident in India if he satisfies condition of resident as stated above and also satisfies both of the following conditions-

(i) he has been resident in India in at least 2 out of 10 years immediately preceding the relevant year

(ii) he has been in India for a period of 730 days or more during 7 years immediately preceding the relevant year.

The person who doesn’t satisfies both of the above conditions is a resident but not ordinarily resident.

No more to say. Totally accepted with Dhirajlal sir :-)

If he has stayed in india for the py 2017-18 then he will be treated as resident but not ordinarily resident for that year since he does not comply with the cumpolsory criteria.

To determine whether he is resident in FY 2017-18.......

(1) first condition of stay in India for at least 182 days in the year do not satisfy.

(2) He stays in India for more than 60 days in the relevant year, so first check whether he had stayed in India for 365 days or more in preceeding 4 years??? 

If no, he turns out to be NRI......
