I am in Malaysia from 15 Jan 2023 on employment pass. From 1 Apr 2023, my employer has stopped deducting Income Tax in India, since the count of days I am in India for FY 2023-24 is 0 from Apr 1. My salary is being paid in Malaysia in Ringgits, in my Malaysian salary account.
I will go back to India on 15 Sep 2023 at the completion of my assignment. Do I need to pay income tax in India from Sep 2023 for the income earned during Apr - Aug 2023?
Yes, as your stay in India in FY 2023-24 will be more than 182 days, thereby your status will be Resident Indian.
Thank you! Will I be eligible for any refund for the tax I paid in India from Jan to Mar 2023?
Yes, you have to file return for AY 2023-24 (FY 2022-23).
Any additional taxes paid will be refunded.
