Hello,

If a person who is a British citizen but residing in India for the past 4-5 years completely but has no income in India, is he required to file return?

 

Obviously with the new budget, they're required to give details of their foreign assets and bank accounts.. But what about their income in the UK if they're paying taxes and filing returns in the UK? Will that income also have to be shown in India(and consequently DTA relief has to be obtained)?
