26 May 2017 The facts in the query are not adequate. Please answer following questions:

26 May 2017 Income will taxable in India under normal Slab rates applicable to Individual.

29 May 2017 Thanks for the details.

I agree with Studentsca, since the services are rendered in India, the salary is taxable in India.

Asides, from the USA employer's point of view, there may be TDS implications u/s 192 that it needs to be concerned about. Also, this arrangement can make the employee a Permanent Establishment (PE) of US company in India, and attributable profits can be taxed in India. Also, if employee is working remotely, it can also cause concerns under FEMA. Specific fact evaluation is advised.

Thanks!
