RNOR window calculator
NRIs returning to India usually qualify for "Resident but Not Ordinarily Resident" (RNOR) status for 2 years. Foreign-source income is mostly tax-free during RNOR. This tool maps the window.

You don't meet the standard RNOR test (NRI for 9 of last 10 FYs). You'll likely become Ordinarily Resident immediately on return. There are alternative tests — consult a CA.
