He/she has been non-resident in India, that is, an NRI, in nine out of the ten previous years preceding that year,
To determine RNOR stqtus of FY 2020-21, does he need to be NRI for 9 years out of 10 years  from FY 2019-20 to 2010-11or from 2020-21 to FY 2011-12. 

Does FY 2020-21 need to be included in 10 years or not??

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the criteria for the Resident but Not Ordinarily Resident (RNOR) tax status. It specifically addresses how to calculate the preceding ten years for determining RNOR status for FY 2020-21. The consensus is that the current financial year (FY 2020-21) is not included in the ten-year lookback period. If an individual has been an NRI for nine out of the ten years prior to FY 2020-21, they will be considered RNOR for FY 2020-21, even if they spend over 182 days in India during that year.

need clarification for RNOR rule

No fy 20-21 not required to include

Thanks Ankit ji. So if I am NRI for 9 years out of 10 years before FY 2020-21, I will be RNOR for FY 2021-21 if I dont fulfill the NRI criteria in FY2020-21.

Is that correct Sir?

Yes you are right
What your status for FY 20-21

250 Days

Ankit ji, stay in India is around 250 days in FY 2020-21

In my view then you will be RNOR

ok Thanks  Ankit ji
