Dear Experts,
I was NRI since 2010, during FY 2016-17 I stayed 187 days in India, but I didn't earn in India I earned from Qatar, there is no tax as you all know it, but what ever I have earned there I used to transfer some amount to my SBI India A/c for my family use that is around INR.325,000/-, I want to know that whether the mentioned amount is taxable or not, if yes then what will be the tax, kindly give fare answer so that I can file the belated return. Thanks in advance

But I heard that if WHO EVER STAYED MORE THAN 182 DAYS IN India THEN THEY WILL BE UNDER RESIDENCE CATEGORY THEN THE TRANSFERRED ACCOUNTANT WILL BECOME TAXABLE IS THERE Any POSSIBILITIES

No. Not at all. Whatever you heard is half truth. Let me try to explain. There are 2 categories viz 01 Resident and 02 Non resident. Under the category RESIDENT, there are 2 sub categories viz. RAOR (resident and ordinarily resident) and RBNOR (Resident but not ordinarily resident. Your case is that of RBNOR and hence the income earned in Qatar is NOT taxable in India.
