When you return to India for good, you don't become a full resident overnight. For a transitional period you may qualify as RNOR — Resident but Not Ordinarily Resident — during which your foreign income generally stays outside India's tax net. It's a narrow, valuable window to reorganise foreign assets before full residency begins.
You may be RNOR if you were non-resident for 9 of the last 10 years, or in India 729 days or less over the last 7. It usually lasts two to three years.
