15 February 2009 You seem to be a resident for income tax purpose. (assuming that you have stayed for more than 182 days in India during 08-09).

This income is "Income received in India" hence taxable. If tax is already deducted in US, then there is no need to pay it again as DTA is there. If tax has not been deducted, get PAN, compute and pay tax on self assessment basis and file return.
