I am an NRI since year 1995. Now I have plan to stay in india every year 180 days and balance days in oversees with my son for next three years (Financial year 2024-25 to 2026-27). This will help me to divert my NRE fixed deposit money to other investment like shares, MF etc and save income tax in my hand.
Will I will be treated as NON RESIDENT ? Is my under standing correct for tax planning.

As per section 6(1) of Income Tax Act, 1961, Residential status is determined on the basis of number of days of stay in India. An individual is said to be resident in India in any previous year, if he satisfies any one of the following conditions: i. He has been in India during the previous year for a total period of 182 days or more OR ii. He has been in India during the 4 years immediately preceding the previous year for a total period of 365 days or more and has been in India for at least 60 days in the relevant previous year. For the FY 2026-27, check second condition. If you have not exceeded 364 days in any preceding four years, you will be NRI; otherwise RNOR.
