1. Can he offset Long term capital gains of India using losses of sale from US?
2. Does this transaction needs to be declared in both US and Indian returns?
Any of you thought through above situation, can you please point to references?
Thank You

Dear Sunder,
As per Sec 5, for determining SCOPE OF INCOME The Residentail Status of the YEAR in which losses (in US) were incurred is relevant if in that year he was
1) ROR - then losses can be setoff against Indian Gains provided they were carried forward in the return filed in due date as per law.
2) RNOR / NR - then losses cannot be setoff EXCEPT on satisfaction of BOTH the following 2 conditions
a) The Consideration was received in India by the assesse or on his behalf.
b) The losses were carried forward as per law .
As far as declaration of Transanction in Indian Income Tax Act is concerned if the income (or loss) is coming under Sec 5 then it has to be disclosed.
