16 November 2008 My client is employed with TCS in US. They have been paying his salary and deducting tds in USD. My client has filed his W-2 (ITR in US). He left TCS in Aug 07 and TCS gave him a salary certificate in INR.

My client files his ITR regularly in India. How and to what extent do i claim the double taxation benefit in his ITR? Do i have to apply any conversion rate to convert the tds paid in USD to INR? Is there a formula for claiming this benefit and under what section? How will his total income in INR be computed in such a case?
