By the way, we are still at the stage of convincing our CA here that a case can be made on the pension issue based on Article 19 or US - India tax treaty. He is taking time to digest it all. This years tax filing was done in the month of Sept 18th (India had extended the tax deadline this year from traditional July 31st to Sept 18th). I discovered this public pension DTAA possibility the day we filed the returns (regrettably, it should have come from him). That is why an amendment claiming a refund is all we can do right now.
