now since the tickets of both way are already booked by the company . his total days in india will cross 60 days , he'll be treated is RESIDENT .
therefore both of his income will be taxable in india also.

Then he is non resident for A.Y. 2016-17 because he stayed in India for less than 182 days in financial year 201-16 so he doesnot have to pay any taxes on foreign income in India.

But mam ,i find out that :
If an individual satisfies any one of the following conditions, he is said to be Resident in India for that financial year.
1. He is in India for a period of 182 days or more in that financial year
OR
2. He is in India for 60 days or more during that financial year and has been in India for 365 days or more during 4 previous years immediately preceding the relevant financial year.
AND my brother is clearly fullfilling second condition .

In case you are an Indian Citizen and you leave India for employment outside of India or as a member of the crew on an Indian ship, in other words if you take up a job outside India the 60 days minimum period will be increased to 182 days so it means only first condition is applicable if indian citizen leaves india for employment purpose.

he is consider as a non-resident of India because he did not stay for a period of 182 days
hence his income is not taxable in india
