17 November 2013 As per the Income Tax Act, in case of a person RESIDENT in Indian, the global income is taxable.

Hence, in case of your friend, assuming that he stays in India only and receives any payment from US, the same is taxable in India.

However, please note that any taxes paid/ deducted in US can be claimed as Foreign TAx Credit.

17 November 2013 Dear Ashish,

As suggested by other experts, this income shall be taxable in India. Plus, it is expected that US company shall also withhold certain taxes in US.

With respect to such taxes, credit can be claimed in Indian tax return. Please refer to this wonderful PPT by Rishi Halalkar.
