My client is a seafarer working in Merchant Navy. In FY 14-15 he was NRI. In FY 15-16 he stayed in India for more than 182 days. In that year of FY15-16 he received salary in NRE A/c of Rs. 20 lacs. He has not yet filed the return of FY15-16. Now my question is is he liable to pay tax on salary received in NRE? Beacuse if tax payable then he will hve to pay huge taxes.

During FY 2015-16 your client is a resident and therefore all income earned has to be reported and taxed in india.
