30 July 2015 Federal Income tax is considered unless specifically stated in US DTAA.

incometaxindia.gov.in gives various DTAA (Double taxation avoidance agreement). You may go through the same.

30 July 2015 dear Hemal,

India-US DTAA covers only federal taxes. section 90 shall be relevant in this case.

please follow the link for DTAA with USA and go to TAXES COVERED in article 2.

section 90 as quoted by you is the one where you can claim the relief.
