Mr. Sarthak is an Indian citizen living in Dubai since 2005 who never came to India for
a single day since then, he would not be a resident in India for the P.Y. 2023 -24 on the
basis of number of days of his stay in India as per section 6(1).
However, since he is an Indian citizen
- having total income (excluding income from foreign sources) of ` 23 lakhs, which

he would be deemed resident in India for the P.Y. 2023-24 by virtue of section 6(1A).
A deemed resident is always a resident but not ordinarily resident in India (RNOR).

Mrs. Shruti, an Indian citizen visiting India in the P.Y.2023-24 , would be a
resident in India for A.Y.2024-25, if she satisfies either of the following
conditions -
(i) She is in India for 182 days or more during the P.Y.2023-24 or
(ii) She is in India for a period of 120 days or more during the P.Y.2023-24 and
her stay in India in the four immediately preceding previous years is 365
days or more.
[This condition will apply to her since she comes on a visit to India during
the previous year 2023-24 and her total income (excluding income from
foreign sources) is ` 16.50 lakhs, which exceeds the threshold of ` 15 lakhs]
This first condition is not satisfied since she is in India only for 157 days during the
P.Y.2023-24.
The second condition is satisfied, since she has stayed in India for 157 days during
the P.Y.2023-24 and 421 days in the four immediately preceding previous years.
Since she has become resident in India for A.Y.2024-25 by satisfying this
condition, by default, she
would be treated as resident but not ordinarily resident.
Conclusion – Mrs. Shruti’s residential status for A.Y.2024-25 is resident but not
ordinarily resident.

previous year, if she is not liable to tax in any other country would not apply to Shruti,
since she is a resident as per the provisions of section 6(1).

Since Mr. Jai Chand, an Indian citizen employed in Country X, did not come to India at
all during the P.Y. 2023-24, he would not be a resident for A.Y.2024-25 as per section
6(1).
However, since he is an Indian citizen
- having total income (excluding income from foreign sources) of ` 16,50,000 [`
12,00,000, being income from commercial building in India + ` 4,50,000, being

during the previous year; and

Yes, in case Mr. Jai Chand is a citizen of Country X, he would be non-resident in India
for the P.Y. 2023-24, since the provisions of deemed resident are applicable only to an

Mrs. Asha is an Indian citizen who comes on a visit to India during the P.Y. 2023 -24 for
3 months i.e., 92 days. Since she does not satisfy any of the basic conditions of staying
in India for 182 days or 120 days during the P.Y. 2023-24, she is not a resident in India as
per section 6(1).
Mrs. Asha would be a deemed resident under section 6(1A) if her total income other
than the income from foreign sources exceeds ` 15 lakhs during the P.Y. 2023-24 as she

As per section 6(1), an Indian citizen or a person of Indian origin who, being outside
India, comes on a visit to India would be resident in India if he or she stays in India for
a period of 182 days or more during the relevant previous year in case such person has
total income, other than the income from foreign sources, not exceeding ` 15 lakhs.
However, if such person has total income, other than the income from foreign sources,
exceeding ` 15 lakhs, he would also be a resident if he has been in India for at least 120
days during the relevant previous year and has been in India during the 4 years
immediately preceding the previous year for a total period of 365 days or more. In such
a case, he would be resident but not ordinarily resident in India.
Income from foreign sources means income which accrues or arises outside India
(except income derived from a business controlled in or a profession set up in India)
and which is not deemed to accrue or arise in India.

not exceed ` 15 lakhs, he would be non-resident for the A.Y. 2024-25 .
A non-resident is chargeable to tax in respect of income received or deemed to receive

India. Accordingly, his total income would be as follow –
