Income tax on remittance

[vivek Vk]

Hi, e

I was gulf NRI FOR the past few years. Returned back from gulf on June 2017. There is no income tax in Qatar.

Remittance made by me from April 2017 to June 2017 will be counted as income while filing the return.

Please let me know

Regards

In my view no income tax is attracted in India for the remittances made by you.
