FOR THE ASSESSMENT YEAR 2009-10, YOU SHOULD BE IN INDIA FOR AT LEAST 182 DAYS IN THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2008-2009
BUT AS PER YOUR QUERY IT IS FOUND THAT YOU ARE OUT OF INDIA FOR 2 YEARS FOR EMPLOYMENT PURPOSE SO YOU ARE NOT LIABLE TO FILE INCOME TAX RETURN IN INDIA FOR THE ASSESSMENT YEAR 2009-10.
YOU SHOULD HAVE TO FILE I.T.RETURN IN INDIA ONLY IF YOU ARE PRESENT INDIA FOR 182 DAYS OR MORE IN ANY FINANCIAL YEAR

Dear Sarfaraj, Indian income tax needs return on the basis of resident status.As u are saying two years in US ,Then no need for any return.If u have other incomes in india then different issue.
