Sir,

I am a doctor previously working in Govt. of KUWAIT Hospital.

I was remaining in Kuwait for more than 182 Days in FY 2014-15 and remain there till 15 July, 2015.  But, I received Salary in KD in FY 2015-16 along with the Arrears of AY 2014-15. Now I am in India and have to file the ITR4.

Now, kindly guide me that should I

  • Mention the Arrears of my Salary of Kuwait for the year 2014-15 or it is fully exempted. Even if it is Exempted, whether it is to be mentioned or not.
  • The salary received from April 2015 to July 2015 (Four Months) is taxable or not taxable. In Kuwait, it is fully exempted.

Kindly guide me accordingly.

Thanks and regards.

well i thinks its depend on Residential status:

Step 1: Determining whether resident or non-resident

Under the Income-tax Law, an individual will be treated as a resident in India for a year if he satisfies any of the following conditions (i.e. may satisfy any one or may satisfy both the conditions):

(1) He is in India for a period of 182 days or more in that year; or

(2) He is in India for a period of 60 days or more in the year and for a period of 365 days or more in 4 years immediately preceding the relevant year.

Step 2: Determining whether resident and ordinarily resident or resident but not ordinarily resident

A resident individual will be treated as resident and ordinarily resident in India during the year if he satisfies following conditions:

(1) He is resident in India for at least 2 years out of 10 years immediately preceding the relevant year.

(2) His stay in India is for 730 days or more during 7 years immediately preceding the relevant year.

A resident individual who does not satisfy any of the aforesaid conditions or satisfies only one of the aforesaid conditions will be treated as resident but not ordinarily resident.
