I.have sailed for 120 days in this financial year and I am giving my exams now. So it will be difficult for me to.maintain nri status this year.
Please advise what should I do.

Dear Sridharan p, as you are not having any Indian income, no need to file any ITR in India. Thanks

Hello Sridharan,
First of all enjoy a well earned leave. I am a Merchant Navy Officer (C/O).
The filing of tax depends on you. In case you are planning to buy a house worth 30L or above in future then its better that you start filing your returns. It is not mandatory though but in case you buy such property, the IT guys will be coming sneaking the source of income and ultimately your returns. If you are one of those unlucky guys then you have to file the reply for such questions by your CA, as to where did you get the money from etc etc. As far as I know none of the seafarer wants his family in tension over a note from IT when he is on sail.
In case you are not planning to do the above, don’t bother and enjoy your salary. Don’t worry, institutions like HDFC Ltd etc extend loans to seafarers even without IT returns.
Cheers
Mayank
If you are filing returns regularly, then you can file for nil returns for no income in India. But for your benefit you can get a certified copy from a CA stating your foreign income. It will be helpful in future to show banks for your income when availing loans.
Hi Biswas Singh,
I don’t have any bank account in any foreign country . I have been remitting my salary in us dollar in my nri bank account in india only.
My foreign company have not deducted any tax on my salary.
If you do not have any income in India then i dont think you have to file return but you must be pying taxes in the foreign country where you have your bank account details. I was in London for 2 years and did not file the return.
