New Delhi, May 9: The Finance Ministry on Friday announced relief to those who have been facing difficulty with their residency status in India under section 6 of the Income-tax Act due to lockdown and suspension of international flights owing to COIVD-19 outbreak, as they have had to prolong their stay in India.
According to a Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) release, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman today allowed discounting of prolonged stay period in India for the purpose of determining residency status after considering various representations received from people who had to prolong their stay in India due to lockdown and suspension of international flights.
They expressed concern that they will be required to file tax returns as Indian residents and not as NRIs after 120 days of stay.
The Finance Ministry stated that the lockdown continues during the financial year 2020-21 and it is not yet clear when international flight operations would resume, a circular excluding the period of stay of these individuals up to the date of resumption of international flight operations shall be issued for determination of the residential status for the financial year 2020-21.
A circular also said that in order to avoid genuine hardship in such cases, the CBDT has decided that for the purposes of determining the residential status under section 6 of the Act during the previous year 2019-20 in respect of an individual who has come to India on a visit before March 22, 2020 and:
(a) has been unable to leave India on or before March 31, 2020, his period of stay in India from March 22, 2020 to March 31, 2020 shall not be taken into account; or
(b) has been quarantined in India on account of novel coronavirus (Covid-19) on or after March 1, 2020 and has departed on an evacuation flight on or before March 31, 2020 or has been unable to leave India on or before March 31, 2020, his period of stay from the beginning of his quarantine to his date of departure or March 31, 2020, as the case may be, shall not be taken into account; or
(c) has departed on an evacuation flight on or before March 31, 2020, his period of stay in India from March 22, 2020 to his date of departure shall not be taken into account."
The release said there are number of individuals who had come on a visit to India during the previous year 2019-20 for a particular duration and intended to leave India before the end of the previous year for maintaining their status as non-resident or not ordinary resident in India.
"However, due to declaration of the lockdown and suspension of international flights owing to outbreak of COVID-19, they are required to prolong their stay in India. The status of an individual whether he is resident in India or a non-resident or not ordinarily resident, is dependent, inter-alia, on the period for which the person is in India during a year," it said.

Now every Peace loving Hindu should stand united against her and denounce her terrorizing speech. Say boldly she does not represent any peace loving Hindus.
Hinduism does not reflect in her. If people like her continues to live, they then spoil the Hinduism or the religion what they represent.
If the government is fair, they should take immediate action by arresting her and prosecuting under law of the land.
Now there is no any surprise for any peace loving person declares a bounty of 1crore for head brainless head, if the government does not take any action against her.
Oh peace loving Hindus and Muslims be united, live together follow whatever your religion says, but please use your valued brain for understanding the true teaching of God.
Look at her .........like shit....she represents. A religion...?
Again the drain is open.......may be because of rain...
Need some good man to please her....so she is satisfied with something.....
Dear Majoosi sect please identity yourself & Hussaini Tiger organization address before placing 15 lakh on Dr Naik. secondly implement your Ayatullah fatwa & award on Rushdi.
Sadhvi is on drug. She has no capacity to give birth to baby how can she behead someone like Dr. Naik. Too funny.
We need organization to file criminal case against these organizations & individuals scums in the court.
A Killer / Murderer in Sadhvi's clothing?
What are the criminal charges for supari killing?
Can police arrest her and put behind the bars.
VHP and its allies are feeding and nurturing few lunatic creatures in its terror camps and utilize them in such cirumstances which becomes mockery every time they tries. Arnav Goswami must be a frustrated joker at this moment.

Zakir Naik s head is more costlier than kohinoor diamond. just by wearing orange dress an uncultured woman will not become sadhvi.
There are many scholars got defeated by zakir bhai in debate. They have tried all their scholars after getting defeat they are using terrorism weopons against him.
It shows their impotency .
