Yes… according to the Tax law .. if you stay more than 179 days in india, then you have to pay tax in India and your company will also have to deduct those taxes and pay to India… This is a known law bro nothing new ..

Therefore, the amendments in the Finance Act, 2020 with respect to the residential status of Indian citizens or PIOs are of following three types-

Amendment 1: Amendment in section 6 for Indian citizens and PIOs reducing the period of stay from 182 days to 120 days in India in certain cases

 

Earlier, the Finance Bill, 2020 had decreased the number of days to 120 days in every case of non-resident Indian citizens. 

 

However, the Finance Act, 2020 has filtered the blanket reduction and the reduced number of days of 120 days shall apply only in case of the citizen or person of Indian origin whose total income from Indian sources (i.e other than the income from foreign sources) is more than Rs. 15 Lakh during the previous year.

What’s wrong in paying tax for your own country if you stay there for a year ?

No way to track it with current system. So lite unless American companies voluntarily obey the laws.
