01 September 2009 You are a Resident in India for the purpose of Income Tax Act, 1961, since your stay in India is more than 182 days during the previous year.

Accordingly, you have to file your income tax return.

Your taxable amount and exemption details will be as per your Form-16.

If you have any other eligible deduction under chapter VI-A which is not considered in your form-16, you can claim that also in your return.
