RSU and Non Resident Alien

I have worked in USA but moved to India now and below is my situation:

 

Eg:  Lets say

2015:  Got 100 RSU Vested  (while resident in USA)  [some RSUs were withheld for taxes]

          (For 2015, I filed taxes for above vesting)

2020: Moved to India and filing taxes in India now

2024: If I sell these 100 RSU now and have Capital gain (of lets say $1000)

 

Since I am Non Resident Alien now,

     do I need to file tax return and pay taxes in USA on this Capital gain($1000)?

     (or)

     can I file this as part of my India Income Tax return filing?

@MG2001 , cannot  answer without more info.  

Most importantly: 

 1.  Your own immigration status -- US citizen/GreenCard:  how about  Indian immigration status ( Indian citizen with US GreenCard etc )?

  2.  Your financial connection to US -- own property / bank accounts /  financial assets  etc/. ??

  3.   Your earnings in India  --- private / govt. ;  US entity or a branch thereof   OR Indian entity with no connection to the US  OR what ??

  4.    Whom issued the RSU ---- an Indian entity, a US entity while you were working in the USA,  an international entity ( i.e. entity in a third country and with no connection to US OR was this for work done in  the USA

   5.   When did you enter US, with what visa  and when did you leave the USA ?

 

AS you  can see from the above questions I am trying to understand the degree of your connection to the USA.

BTW -- if  the answers and the situation is going to not of interest to the general users, you are welcome to PM me  ( just NO PII -- Personally Identifiable Information )  

 

Look forward to answers 

 

Namaste ji,
