Hello,
Some background-
For the year 2021,
i was in the US from January 1 to March 26
in India from March 27 to April 27.
Returned to the US on April 28.
I plan to go back to India in October 2021 for some years due to some family emergency.
I was wondering how the Indian taxation would apply for me for the Indian Fiscal Year 2021 (April 1 2021 - March 31st 2022).
When should i return to India so as to avoid paying any taxes to the Indian IT department for the income earned in the US for the year 2021 (since i will be paying taxes to IRS online in 2022 for US FY 2021)
If your presence in India is less than 182 days in a calendar year, you will not be considered a tax resident. Note that the financial year is from April to March in India.
Also if you are moving back for long term and want to repatriate dollar savings from the US to India, the laws are complex so my suggestion is to consult a good CPA (US) or a CA (India) who specializes in the tax laws of both countries.
