Taxation in India on returning from a foreign country

If you've been working abroad and are returning to India, your tax status depends on your total days spent in India during the financial year. Even if your employer stopped Indian tax deductions, you may still owe tax on income earned while abroad if your total stay in India exceeds 182 days, making you a resident Indian. You can also claim a refund for taxes paid in India before your departure by filing a return for the relevant assessment year.
