09 July 2010 If your question from the point of view of income tax for residential status then he will be Resident for India for P.Y. 2009-10.

Actual, according to sec. 6(6) Exception is applicable only if the Indian citizen leaves india for Employment purpose.

Here, he is leaving india for study purpose thereofore sec 6(6) is not applicable on him
