One of my friends had earned Salary in India from Apr'11 to Feb'12 and TDS was accordingly deducted.

In the last week of Feb'12 ,he went to USA for an assignment from the same company for which he was working in India and he earned salary in USA till Mar'12 on which tax was deducted as  per USA laws.

Since he is a Resident Indian only, his income from USA will be taxable here.

Now I have the following queries-

1)What will be the treatment of the tax deducted in the USA? Will he get benefit in terms of DTAA? If yes, will he have to pay only the balance amount of tax after considering the the tax deducted there or he will have to pay tax on the total first and then claim refund?

2)What kind of proofs is he required to submit in respect of the tax paid in USA?

3)How will the same be disclosed in ITR?
