Update in Direct Tax Laws # 8

No of days of forced stay in India cannot be counted while determining the Residential Status.  Thus, where the Government Agencies illegally impounded the passport of the assessee and because of which his stay in India exceeded 182 days, he cannot be treated as ‘Resident’. i.e The number of days for which his passport was impounded is to be excluded while counting the period of STAY.
