Tax on money transfered from abroad by Work Permit Holders

No Nitin

In my opinion you dont have to pay tax in india for the income earned outside India. As per the chapter Scope of Income Income earned and recieved outside India is not taxable in India even if it is transferred in India.

Do I need to give the details of the amount transfered to India as non taxable income in my returns.

Your tax liability will depend on your residential status.

Had you been abroad only for 2 months? Have you come back to India after that?

If you are in india for not more than 182 days in a financial years, and goes abroad to take any employment with the intention not to come back in near future, you get the status of NRI and all your income received abroad but later transferred to India are exempt from tax.

If you have been there only for 2 months and rest of the time you were in india, you will be resident for all practical purposes and all your income whether india or abraod are taxable in india.
