1. If he has to complete total 181 days working in SA in a year to become NRI then any foreign exchage received in SA will be non-taxable.Otherwise all foreign exchange is taxable. 2.INR received in India is fully taxable. 3. Foreign Company Indian office cannot make NRI status unless U complete 181 days outside India. 4. If Home country of the Company in SA makes NRI certificate for you even if UR not there in SA more than 181 days , then donot use this cerificate FOR NRI status certificate which is wrong as per Indian Tax law. 5. U can make tax planning by staying more in SA or else where in Foreign to complete 181 days.
