As on date he has not completed 182 days of service, therefore he is still a non resident. He will not be taxed in India. TDS may be deducted to avoid penalty in India for the safety of the employer. DTAA is applicable. As of now no 80C and Deduction in Japan can be taken credit if paying tax in India.

dear sir,
yes, it is fine that it wii be converted in rupee but the question is whether it will be converted at the rate of conversion at the month end or rate existing on at the end of financial year.
with thanks and regards.
