Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax implications for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) following India's Budget 2020. It addresses how staying over 120 days can change an NRI's residency status and impact the taxation of their global income. The conversation also covers the tax treatment of NRE account balances and specific scenarios for seamen and contract employees.

Q1) yes if he stays for more than 120 days in india he will be considered as resident

Q2) Upon becoming resident, one has to declare chang in residential status as per IT act to bank to make change to nature of deposit from NRE to domestic, consequently interest income will be subject to tax

Q3) one will be taxed on global income earned from or originating from an entity in India

Thank you Sreeram, once the NRE become resident how the income (other than interest income) calculated ? will his full bank balance considered as total income for that year ?
