Income under the head Salaries is deemed to accrue or arise at the place where the service is rendered. In your case If employee render their services in india so he will be liable irrespective of payment of salaries in dollar. if he gives services outside india then place of accural would be outside. but he is resident he will be liable for his global income including above income. In case non resident he is not liable if rendering services outside not in india, if indian branch office there & payment also there ) If payment made directly from HO of india in dollar form hi wiil be liable for tax.

  • At least 182 days during a financial year
  • At least 60 days during a financial year and 365 days or more during the 4 years preceding that fiscal year.

IF He does not satisfy any of the two conditions mentioned in A above, he is not a resident.


Exceptions to the above:



  • The 60-day period mentioned above will be substituted for 182 days in case of the following persons:-
  •  A citizen of India who leaves the country as a crew member of an Indian ship or for the purposes of employment outside India 
  • A Citizen of India or PIO who visits India in any previous year.

B. An individual is an NOR in India if:
