If for FY 2020-21, your residential status changed to RNOR then only India income will be taxable.
In other case, I.e if residential status changed to ROR , then your global income will be taxable.
Hello, I was an NRI in Kazakhstan for 3 years. I returned back to India in June 2020 due to covid and won't be able to return back. So for 2020-21 year I will be a resident for taxation. My doubt is whether my salary for April and June 2020 in Kazakhstan will be taxable in India? I have some savings account in Kazakhstan. If I transfer that money to India now, will it become taxable for 2020-21 financial year?

I have clearly written I returned after 3 years. So there is no question of RNOR. Also India income is always taxable doesn't matter NRI or RNOR or ROR. My specific question was for an NRI who becomes ROR whether tax has to be paid for the foreign salary received in that financial year before returning to India.
Sir since you are returning to India after 3 years before which you must be a resident and hence you would become ROR. Therefore global income would be taxed in India unless something to the contrary is mentioned in DTAA between India Kazakhstan. However you'll get credit of the tax paid in Kazakhstan in India after checking the DTAA.
Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.
Thank you
- To become ROR, you must be resident in India during the previous year and also fulfill the two additional conditions. If you are also fulfilling the two additional conditions then you will be ROR otherwise RNOR. In case of ROR, your income will be taxable in India otherwise not. I may assist you in filing of ITR.
Hi
Yes you have pay tax on salary received during year. you will get credit of tax paid in Kazakhstani if there is any DTAA between India & Kazakhstan
Hello,
As per the details provided, you would be considered ROR for the F.Y. 2020-21.
Your global income(including the salary of April - June 20 in Kazakstan) would be taxable in India. Tax if any paid in the foreign country would be available as a credit against the tax payable in India.
I hope this answer satisfies your requirements.

You are an ordinary resident in India for FY 2020-21. Your worldwide income is taxable in India. Hence, April - June salary is also taxable in India. But in case, you have paid any taxes on this income in Kazakasthan, you can claim credit for that against India tax liability.
As regards transfer of your saving to INdia, if you can demonstrate that savings are your past income in Kazaskthan when you were a non-resident in India, it should not be taxable in India. Also, you should have been a tax resident of Kazakstan in that year. Merely transfer of money to India, should not be taxable
Hi,
Your salary earned in Kazakhstan will be taxed in India as you area resident of India and im case of an Indian resident, your worldwide income gets taxed in India.
However, you can get the foreign tax credit of taxes paid in Kazakhstan.
However, you can claim the credit of taxes paid in Kazakhstan while filing ITR in India.

In accordance with Rule 128, in order to claim FTC, the taxpayer is required to file following documents on or before due date of filing of return:
