How many days can you spend in India?
For tax, 182 days or more in India in a tax year — from 1 April — make you resident, and so do 60 days with 365 or more over the four years before. For Indian citizens and people of Indian origin visiting, and citizens leaving to work abroad, the 60 becomes 182 — or 120 for a visitor with income in India over ₹15 lakh.
