I left India in Sep 2018 for employment abroad and was an NRI for FY 2018-19. My job abroad ended and I returned to India on end May 2019. I was abroad attending a funded research conference (not employment) the entire month of Aug 2019. I obtained a new job and left India for employment on Dec 1, 2019.
Although I left India for employment for 4 months, from Dec 2019 - March 2020, my cumulative days in India (including stay abroad during Apr-May and Aug) are 168 days for FY 2019-2020.
Period of Stay in India in preceding years: FY 2018-2019 is 181 (NRI) FY 2017-2018 is 365 (ROR) FY 2016-2017 is 365 (ROR) FY 2015-2016 is 366 (ROR) FY 2014-2016 is 365 (ROR) FY 2013-2016 is 365 (ROR) FY 2012-2013 is 365 (ROR)
What is my residential status for FY 2019-2020? Thank you.
