Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies residential status under Section 6(1) for Indian citizens. It covers scenarios for those leaving India for work or as sailors, and for those of Indian origin visiting India. If your stay in the current financial year is 182 days or more, but your stay in the preceding four years was less than 365 days, you will be considered a resident.
