30 March 2013 Hi,

My friend has joined a company in Dubai since Sep 2012 but his company is remitting his salary in his Indian Bank A/c, in Delhi, as he has not been able to open a bank a/c till date. He has no other income during the year.
Will the receipt of salary be taxed in India or will be exempt as its actually earned in Dubai (Tax free). Also suggest how he should be managing it going forward.

Pls let me know your views.

Thanks

22 May 2013 First of all his appointment letter is to be seen. If his work destination is India then it is taxable in India. To get it exempted he should get the salary in Dubai and not in India. Therefore, he should immediately open a bank account in Dubai and get the salary credited in his Dubai account.
