Returning to India - Residency confusion

992 views 2 replies

Hi

Need your suggestion For an NRI who worked abroad almost  3 Years outside india (2021, 2022 and 2023). From April 29 2021 but returned back to india on March 17 2024. During FY 23-24 , spent 146 days visiting india (while being employed overseas) and returned back to india on March 17 (14 days india stay after job loss permanent return)

Now the question is for FY 23-24 will the 182 day rule apply or 60/355 day rule apply given I returned  back on March 17?

 Will the visit days be clubbed with permanent stay days or not for determining the 60 day rule ? My status will be Nri or rnor or ror here ?

Even though i returned back on March 17 (my last overseas employment date is April 8 2024 and I chose not to return back as soon I got fired instead of waiting till April )..

my taxable Indian income is less than 15 lakhs

confused between the application of Manoj kumar reddy case and Smita Anand case which give conflicting answers .

Thank you
