Under the Income-tax Law, an individual will be treated as a resident in India for a year if he satisfies any of the following conditions:
1. He is in India for a period of at least 182 days in that year or
2. He is in India for a period of at least 60 days in that year **+** for a period of at least 365 days in immediately preceding 4 years.
If an individual does not satisfy any of the above conditions then he will be treated as non-resident in India.
Therefore considering Mr x , a Non resident in India , the receipt of dividend from foreign company is not taxable in India provided mr x is Holding the shares of foreign company and after being eligible for dividend it is just credited in India , so no taxablility arises in India
