Under section 10(6)(ii) of the Income-tax Act, any remuneration that is received by an individual who is not a citizen of India as an official of the Embassy, High Commission, Legation, Commission, Consulate or Trade representative of foreign State or, as a member of the staff of any of those officials would be exempt from tax, if the corresponding Indian officials in that foreign country enjoy similar exemption. So in this case it is not taxable ....since US Embassy has not deducted the taxes ....
