Do I pay SARS if money is in Overseas bank account?

I just became a citizen of India. I work online. Payment is received via PayPal. So I do not have a South African employer. If I open an Indian bank account and direct my income into my Indian bank account instead of a South African bank account, can I still pay tax on that money via SARS? Or would I need to pay it via the Indian Tax system?

You would pay this in India not South Africa.
