@selvi , please can you tell more about the dates -- which date you entered with H1-B; was this your first entry for any reason in the last two years i.e. 2021, 2022 and 2023 ; Are you still here in the USA ?
I suspect what your employer did is to take advantage of a loop hole here ( till you passed the SPT, they paid you in INR and thereby put you at risk of not having paid the FICA taxes and withholding of Federal and State taxes ) --- you worked in the USA with a work visa and so this income should be US sourced and taxed as such . I hope I am wrong in this.
Once you passed SPT, then world income would be taxed and therefore pay in US dollars. Also if you are resident of US ( passed the SPT ) you cannot be paying taxes to India -- per US-India Tax Treaty.
Again , I may be jumping to conclusions without sufficient facts.
Please answer my questions and I will come back and help.
Namaste ji
