	he is getting his salary in NRI account

1. to determine non resident status - has to check 182 days rule for a tax year.

2. If he is getting salary in NRE account (not NRO) -his salary earnings from Merchant navy job on the high seas outside India  is not taxable.

3. Check with your CA. (depends on whether he has any other income originating in India)
