NRIs need to carefully consider the total Indian income and plan their travel itinerary based on the amendment for their period of stay. The positive aspect is that in most cases, NRIs can continue to visit India for up to 181 days in the financial year and even in other cases where the period of stay in India is 120 days up to 181 days (and also for 365 days or more in preceding 4 years) or more or in case of Indian citizens who are not tax residents of any other country and are deemed to be tax residents of India, the status would be RNOR (if their Indian Income exceeds INR 15 lakhs) and hence foreign income shall not be taxable in India.
