Income tax on foreign currency income

Hi, I am new to this club.

I need various informaion on taxed related to my organization where I work and personal taxation also.

I have an income as a consultant and this agreement is between me and US company. They are going to pay me the consultancy fees directly from US into my bank account.

I would like to know that do I come in normal income tax rules or there is any special exemption given to services offered to foreign company ? or may be exemption getting foreign currency into India ?

Experts response would be highly appreciated.

Regards

Anuj

You are a resident and hence your global income is taxable in India. Hence the income which you have mentioned will be taxable at the normal rates. But if any part of your income has been withheld as tax by the US company, then that can be claimed as a deduction from the tax payable by you in India. Other than this no benefits are there as far as i know.
