2024 (3) TMI 543 - ITAT DELHIIncome deemed to accrue or arise in India - income earned under head “Salaries” - computation of total income under the head salary and chargeability - assessee is a NRI and received salary for services rendered outside India - HELD THAT:- As per the provision of Section 9 (1)(ii), the income earned under head “Salaries” is taxable in India “if it is earned” in India. The explanation issued for removal of doubts declares that ‘salaries if it is earned’ meets services rendered in India. In the instant case the assessee neither had any rest period nor leave period which is preceded and succeeded by the services rendered outside India. Since, the assessee has rendered services outside India, the salary cannot be taxable in India. As per the definition the salary paid or the advances received are to be included in the total income of the person when the salary becomes due. From the concurrent reading of Section 5 dealing with scope of total income, Section 15 dealing with computation of total income under the head salary and chargeability thereof and Section 9 dealing with income arising or accruing in India with reference to the salaries and the services rendered in India, we hold that no taxability arises on the salary/allowances received by the assessee since the assessee is a non-resident and has rendered services outside India. Appeals of the assessee are allowed.
