I received salary outside India for 4 months and then came back to India and I have achieved RNOR status this year. Now this salary outside India is not taxable for RNOR in India.

1. Do I need to show this in my return and where?

2. How do I fill up schedule FSI (as I am not claiming any DTAA benefit. It's just that salary should not be taxable here in India)

3. I want to take the benefit of 115H and so ticked yes. Is there anything else I need to do.

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the tax implications for individuals who earned salary outside India for a period before becoming Resident but Not Ordinarily Resident (RNOR) in the current financial year. It addresses how to report this foreign income in the Indian tax return, specifically concerning Schedule FSI and the application of Section 115H, even when no Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) benefit is claimed. The core question is whether and how to declare this non-taxable foreign salary.
