Resident Status query..

Dear Manish,

The  residential status for AY 2011-12 will be Non Resident - Salary earned outside India will not be taxable under Indian Income Tax Act.

Thanks & Regards,

Rachit K Patel

RESIDENT OF INDIA

Bcoz as per income Tax Act ,1961 ...for the person who leaves india for employment outside India during the previous year , then the rule of only 182 days will be applicable...but as per above case the person leaves india During ther Previous year 2008-2009....& not during the concerned previos year 2010-11...so for the previous year 2010-11 he will be the resident of India Bcoz he was remain in India in 2010-11 for 60 days & for a total of 365 days in the previous years 2006-07, 2007-08, 2008-2009, 2009-10 

 AS he is a person of indian origin then he mst fulfill the basic condition of 182 days first only then additional condition wil b considered.

dec+ jan + feb +mar = 28+31+28+31 =118 days.

bcz the main basic condition in his case doesnt get fulfilled so he wil nt b resident .

when he is nt  resident person then there is no need to consider other additional condition

he wil simple b NON RESIDENT in this case n hence no need to pay adv tax .

He shall be a Non Resident in India for the A.Y.11-12 as per Section 6. 

As per section 6 he is non resident ,,,

 I am totally agree with palak calculation and C.A rachit k patel

He must be non resident as he did not setisfy the basic condition for becoming resident......

he is the person of indian origin thats why the 2nd basic condition i.e. to stay for 62 days and more than 365 days in last 4 preceeding years of P/Y, will be substituted by 182 days..

So in this case he does not satisfy the 2 basic condition, so he will  be Non Resident.....

Thank you friends for your valuable suggesstions.............

Dear Friends,

My querry is whether there is any provision under Income Tax Act, 1961 to determine the residential status of an Diplomat of USA who residing in India since 4 years.

Please give your valuable inputs on the same.
