Non-resident seafarer salary: not taxable solely because credited to an NRE account when earned for service outside India. Salary of a non-resident seafarer for services rendered outside India on a foreign-going ship (Indian or foreign flag) shall not be included in total income merely because that salary has been credited in the NRE account maintained with an Indian bank; mere credit to an NRE account does not render foreign-earned salary 'received in India' for taxability purposes.
