Claiming credit for US tax:
• Filing Form 67 (by the ITR due date or belated date) is necessary to claim foreign tax credit (Rule 128). Indian FTC isn't a refund of US tax. It reduces your Indian tax on that foreign income, up to the Indian tax payable on it.
• If US tax exceeds Indian tax on that income, the excess isn't refunded in India. You may get a US refund by filing a US return (if over-withheld).
• If you were non-resident in India for that year, US income isn't taxable in India, so no FTC is needed.
