@abhi1024 ,  

(a) alright -- based on the days present that you have described,  you are a Resident for Tax purposes for 2024.  Your  resident start date is the first day t of the year hat you were legally present in the US.

(b) For 2024 , your  Sept.30 onwards  till the end of the year you are a resident.  And therefore your W-2 for 2024 should be covering all your earnings from employment  for that period.

(c) I don't see why your Indian  tax return should include  any earnings from the USA ---- 

For the purpose of calculating India Tax, my employer is adding all US paychecks from October 2024 to March 2025.

Is this correct? Do I need to pay taxes in India for my paychecks in US."

Are the two entities -- the US employer and the Indian employer one and the same  or one is wholly owned by the other ?   Your Indian ITR should only  cover earnings in India till the day you left the country --no?

OR are they using the treaty condition of 183 days to be a resident ?   That is not applicable here because  US uses  SPT. And once you are a resident,  only one party can tax you ( generally ).   AS you can see I am confused  as to your employer.  Please tell more.
