FEMA 90 day rule

I have been offered some shares of a MNC company as part of my compensation. I sold those shares last year but not remitted any amount in my bank account. It is still sitting IDLE in my DEMAT account in USA.

2 questions, 

1) I Do  need to show the profits generated while filing ITR even though I have not realized the money in my indian Bank account ?

2) I recently read that one must remit this amount to Indian account within 90 days of sale of shares. I had not done that. If I bring that amount now back to India via wire transfer, do I need to pay any penalty ? Is there any other factor to consider ?

You can watch RBI website for latest circulars for your querry. Provisions of Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) provides free transaction on current account subject to the guidelines by the RBI.
