Will resident but not ordinary resident getting salary directly credited in nre a/c

This discussion explores the taxability of salary credited directly to an NRE account in India for individuals who are 'Resident but Not Ordinarily Resident' (RNOR). Specifically, it addresses the situation of a foreign ship crew member. While a circular (13/2017) exempts non-residents' NRE account salaries, the question remains whether this applies to RNORs, especially since income received in India is generally taxable.
