16 July 2011 i am asking for tax treatment..shares are sold in usa so DTA is also applicable on it


24 July 2011 As per Article 13 of India USA DTAA -Gains "Except as provided in Article 8 (Shipping and Air Transport) of this Convention,
each Contracting State may tax capital gains in accordance with the provisions of its domestic law."

So this article gives each country right to tax capital gains in accordance with its domestic law .

In your case the capital gains shall be charged in USA as per USA Local Law and also at the same time shall be again taxable in India as per Indian Income Tax Act,1961, as correctly pointed out by CA Bafna. Benefit of taxes paid in US shall be available to you.
