NRI tax exemption
Dear All,
I have below question on how NRI is defined. I stayed in india for 60 days during this financial year. Do I need to pay tax in india? I am working in qatar since jan 2015.
When I look into the below definition given in Income tax site. Its confusing. Hope some one can throw more inputs on this.

How to determine that an Individual is NRI
'Non-resident Indian' is an individual who is a citizen of India or a person of Indian origin and who is not a resident of India. Thus, in order to determine whether an Individual is a non-resident Indian or not, his residential status is required to be determined under Section 6. As per section 6 of the Income-tax Act, an individual is said to be non-resident in India if he is not a resident in India and an individual is deemed to be resident in India in any previous year if he satisfies any of the following conditions:
1. If he is in India for a period of 182 days or more during the previous year; or
2. If he is in India for a period of 60 days or more during the previous year and 365 days or more during 4 years immediately preceding the previous year.
However, condition No. 2 does not apply where a an individual being citizen of India or a person of Indian origin, who being outside India, comes on a visit to India during the previous year.""
