Dear Sri Reddy,
I have been a regular reader of your blogs & opinion to educate myself.
I am (79 years old) now in USA. I note from IT dept site the definition for Resident as "an individual is deemed to be resident in India in any previous year if he satisfies any of the following conditions:
1. If he is in India for a period of 182 days or more during the previous year; or
2. If he is in India for a period of 60 days or more during the previous year and 365 days or more during 4 years immediately preceding the previous year.
My stay in India during 2016-17 was less than 182 days. The details of my stay in India in previous four years are:2015-16:365 days, 2014-15:182 days, 2013-14:198 days & 2012-13:166 days. Do I not satisfy the condition 2 to be called a Resident of India for 2016-17? I have been a permanent resident in India only. I require this clarification please to mention so in my ITR for AY 2017-18. Should I mention as Resident or Non-resident in the ITR 1?

Dear Sir,
(Below is my response to your PRIVATE reply..)
The taxation rules in India remain same even if you are a Green card holder.
Moreover, once you become a GC holder, you need to file tax return in USA too, I guess.
Suggest you to consult a Chartered Accountant who takes care of NRI taxation matters.
