Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The ordinary tests include 182 days in India, or 60 days in the tax year plus 365 days over the preceding four years. Exceptions modify the 60-day limb for qualifying Indian citizens leaving for employment/crew and for Indian citizens or persons of Indian origin visiting India. A qualifying visitor with income other than foreign-source income above ₹15 lakh can become resident at 120–181 days and is generally RNOR. Deemed-residence rules can also apply to certain Indian citizens not liable to tax elsewhere.
