30 July 2008 In order to be called a resident the individual should be in India for atleast 182 days during the previous year or 60 days during the previous year and 365 days during four years immediately precedeing the previous year;but if the individual goes outside India for employment purpose then under the second condition the period of 60 days will be substituted by 182 days.If we assume that the individual went outside India on 1st october then it can be ascertained with certainity that he was in India from April to Sept. i.e;183 days.Therefore the person will be resident.
