For a resident, examine preceding-ten-year non-residence and preceding-seven-year days, plus special visitor and deemed-resident RNOR rules.

Indian income-tax residence only. This is not a FEMA residence or treaty tie-breaker determination.

Worked example

An Indian citizen visiting for 90 days, with ₹10 lakh relevant income and liability to tax abroad, is non-resident on these entered facts.
A qualifying high-income visitor with 130 days and 400 preceding-four-year days meets the special resident test and is RNOR.
