2. (a) Residential Status of Mr. Madan
Mr. Madan, an Indian citizen who left India on 1
st
September 2024 for
the purpose of employment to USA, would be non-resident in India, since
he stayed in India for 169 days (30+31+30+31+31+1+15) only during the
P.Y. 2024-25 which is less than 182 days.
Residential Status of HUF
Since Mr. Madan is managing the HUF for part of the year from India,
control and management of its affairs is situated partly in India.
Hence, the HUF would be resident in India for the P.Y. 2024-25.
A HUF is said to be “Resident and ordinarily resident” in India during the
previous year 2024-25, if Karta (Mr. Madan, in this case) satisfies both
the following conditions:
- He is a resident in at least 2 out of 10 previous years preceding the
relevant previous year; and
- His stay in India in the last 7 years preceding the relevant previous
year is 730 days or more.
Mr. Madan has satisfied both the above conditions as he had never gone
out of India except for 99 days and 201 days in the P.Y. 2023-24 and
P.Y. 2022-23, respectively, the HUF would be ROR in India.
