A friend of mine is working in merchant navy on foreign going ships, and his salary is coming in NRE account, and he is not filing IT returns, and in some financial years he was able to fullfill 183 days criteria and and in some financial years he was not able to maintain,� so my question is that , the financial year in which he was not able to maintain 183 day's criteria, in that year does he have to pay income tax as per limit, or he doesn't have to pay anything as his salary is coming in Nre account, and if he has to pay what he should do for the years he has not paid and for future ? Thanks.
