Capital Gains on sale of US based Securities

Hi,

Seeking expert advise on the following scenario:

I currently hold US stocks in an E-trade account. These RSU equity stocks were granted as part of my salary package and were fully vested in 2021.  I would like to understand if I can sell these stocks and invest them in Indian equities or a managed portfolio kind of product. What would be the tax implications of doing so and is there a way I can be exempted from paying taxes or have my CG tax liabilities offsetted.  Also, do I require to pay taxes both in the US and in India?

If anyone has knowledge on this or has handled such a matter previously, please get in touch. Thanks

Regards,

Laila
