Are you a CA/ICWA ? Then the base salary should have been 1000 RO. On cost of food/grocery - the cost, compared to India, will be 3 times for staple / basic diet in Oman. If your current cost of food/grocery in India is just Rs 1100 per month, then within 25 RO you can manage in Oman.

Thanks for the reply srinirajan.
I am yet to qualify CA. I have one more group to clear to qualify this examination.
Company offers Food at that cost. May be they would be having mess facility.
As a fresher & partly qualified CA is this offer not viable ?

if you are not a CA yet, and that company offers you accommodation and subsidized food- then this is a okay offer to begin with (given that you may be in your mid-20s and single).
In Oman there is no personal income tax and medical insurance and to and fro airfare from home to muscat is mandatory by law.

Nothing is banned in Muscat else than the pornographic sites and the same stuff. Understanding your question, please note that gmail, yahoo, facebook are opened all around the world.

As a fresher and to start a career in Gulf, i'll suggest you may consider this opportunity. If your company is providing you the accomodation, its great, however if not, then you can live here in a sharing accomodation (Which will cost you an approximate of 100 OMR/month). End of the day, its all how u spend your money. Since you're young enough, savings wouldn't be a problem for you.
