India’s 182-day presence test remains one route to individual tax residence under the Income-tax Act, 2025.
The rule
This counter covers only the 182-day route. A separate 60-day test combined with 365 days in the preceding four years can also apply.
Special rules for departing citizens, visitors and deemed residents can change the analysis. A total below 182 days does not establish non-residence.
Counting the days
Recorded arrival and departure dates count once. Missing travel history, other eligibility conditions and treaty outcomes are not calculated.
- Choose the date through which you want to count, then add your recorded visits.
- Use the counting convention above. Overlapping recorded dates in the relevant region are counted only once.
- Read the result alongside the conditions. Missing records and other eligibility requirements are not inferred from a total.
Examples
These examples demonstrate the counter's arithmetic, using a count-through date of 30 October 2026. They do not determine legal status or eligibility.

Exceptions & edge cases
The 60-day plus prior-four-year test, 120-day visitor route and deemed residency can apply sooner. This counter tracks only the 182-day route; it does not determine your full residence status.

Common misconceptions
“A count below the day threshold settles tax residence.”
A recorded-day total is one component. Review the separate conditions and exceptions described on this page.
“Unrecorded days are included in the total.”
The calculator uses only the dates you enter. Missing history can make the result incomplete.
