Under section 6(1) an individual is said to be resident in India in any previous year, if he satisfies at least one of the following basic conditions—
Basic condition (a) He is in India in the previous year for a period of 182 days or more
Basic condition (b) He is in India for a period of 60 days or more during the previous
year and 365 days or more during 4 years immediately preceding
the previous year
NOTE: condition (b) is not for the persons who r of indian origin.
in ur case person is not resident in India as he does not satisfy any condition.

Dear balaji,
You can see the question is incomplete... And if you think the question is complete, than we can treat him as a resident in previous years and so Condition B is satisfied...
So he is resident.....

Rahul i do agree to you as he died in month of April.... SEE the case now:
1. IF he has earned any income in India in month of April, than he will be taxed in India only.. No doubt in It.
2. Also he was resident in India till now and was not abroad than its better to consider him as resident only......
3. Normallly this rule applies to the person who is going abroad and not whether he is alive or dead... ( in a lay mans language.). I am going out of Act but its the interpretation as per my belief.

He was resident in preceeding PY
In this year he deceases 30 days into the PY..
For the assessee, the PY ends on 30th April itself..section 6 should have limited application ........yet i am not that clear as to which section will decide the status

non resident would mean a person living mostly outside India... (in simple terms)
so if he is not outside India either...., there is no question of treating him as non resident in this case.
