Pls advise! I am an NRI living in Britain for last 40 plus years. Last year my mother became ill and i have had to come back and forth from india. Since last April 2013 i came to india for one month. Went back to uk, and returned for one more month. This year, i came to india on 17th jan and want to return to uk on 15 May. This would be a total of 181 days. From what i understand i am still classified as an NRI as long as i do not remain in india for more than 182 days. But is this for a continuous period or is it the total number of days within a financial year?
