Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the personal income tax in India for an Indian resident employee of a US-based company who is receiving equity shares. The key point highlighted is that taxation is determined by residential status, not citizenship. Therefore, an individual residing in India will be subject to Indian tax laws on these shares, regardless of the company's US base.

Taxation is based on residential status not citizenship. 

If you are posted in USA, check your residential status.
