13 September 2007 firstly viraj this is a very good question.here it is important to note that you are a resident of INDIA as you qualifies the second test of residentship that you have stayed in INDIA for a continuous period of 4 years prior to previous year .and for a period of 60 days in the previous year.thus you are a resident of india in previous year
with respect to your tax incidence an Individual who qualifies to be resident{ordinary resident}all income accrued/recieved overseas is required to be reported to tax in india
In connection with income earned from abroad it is important to note that india has entered into double tax avoidance with many countries with respect to avoid tax being paid on the same income in two countris you canfind that whether USA is in that list or not most probably it would be.search on netor find from the ambassy....of india in usa ......please tell me if there are any variation all the best......

14 September 2007 Dear Viraj

Pl calculate the residential status of the person as per the provisons of section 6 and check the scope of total income as contained in section 5 of the Income tax Act, In case he is taxed in India with regard to foreign income also, the provisions of DTAA with USA could be looked into
