Answers
Answer:
X is a Non Resident
Explanation:
Under the Income-tax Law, an individual will be treated as a resident in India for a year if he satisfies any of the following conditions (i.e. may satisfy any one or may satisfy both the conditions):
(1) He/ She is in India for a period of 182 days or more during the previous year ; or
(2) He/ She is in India for a period of 60 days or more during the previous year and for a period of 365 days or more in 4 years immediately preceding the relevant previous year.
If an individual does not satisfy any of the above conditions he will be treated as non-resident in India
According to the above, in the given situation " X" did not stay in more than 182 days nor resided 60 days in the previous year. Hence, X is a Non resident.
