My client is a member of crew who is a Non Resident and had stayed for only 97 days in india in the FY 2008-09. In that year he was working outside india on a ship for one Indian Pvt. LTd.Co. A contract was assigned to an Indian co. abroad by a Foreign co. Payment was made to my client by indian co and TDS was deducted by Indian Co. under Section 194C. Now my client has received a notice to file a return. My querry is will my client be liable to pay tax in India. And if yes since the tax was deducted under Section 194C can the client claim deduction for expenses? My client was having a status of a Non Resident even in the previous years since 2003-04. Kindly advice me on the above. Thanking You
