if the person is resident and ordinary resident, then all income earned by such person in India or outside India is taxable in India.

But any Income earned outside India, either taxable in India or Outside India, once taxable then it will not be taxable again when it is remitted to India.

The sections 90 and 91 provides relief to person whose income is taxable in more than one country.
