Deductions & credits

Hello, I am a resident alien staying in USA. My status in India is a Non-Resident Indian.

 

I have recently received some money from my previous Indian employer- Employee Provident Fund, Gratuity, Superannuation & Leave encashment. They are all tax exempt in India. I am not really sure how to account them individually in US tax filing?

 

As a tax resident in US, Can i consider them tax exempt as social security benefits under India  US Tax treaty? And how do i report them under tax filing, if so needed (Form 8833 seem not applicable for tax residents, and instructions says that its not to be filed social security benefits).

 

Would appreciate any guidance on this matter.
