Refer to Chapter II, Section 5. Only income deemed to accrue or arise in India or received in India is chargeable to the Non Resident.
It is also clear that if your income as NRI accrued abroad, bring the fund to India does not make it taxable at anytime, even if you return to India and bring back funds upon becoming resident again.

Hi, it is nowhere given in the income tax that if a person resides outside India for more than 182 days then he is NRI. what if he stays outside for 183 days? in that case his stay in India would be 182 day (except leap year) and he will become resident in India. section 6(1) defines the term resident. If a person is not resident in India then he is considered as NRI. for taxability you can refer to section 5 . Thanks and regards
