Hi All, This is probably a stupid question. But I have been wondering how do you report income in USD (out of dividends, interest, cap gains etc) from a US institution to the GOI - i.e. you have to convert it to INR? and If so, at what exch rate?

Not a stupid question. But a lazy question. Check Rajesh FEMA forum. This has been answered few times.
Use search facility in this forum to find the response.

Ok I don’t know how much this is going to help you but here are a few details on how taxes are computed for foreign earnings. Firstly your tax that you pay in the US will be computed in American dollars. Secondly if it is the Government of India you seek to file your returns with then you will have to calculate the currency rate according to what it was on the day of the transaction. This is as per my knowledge. Please check elsewhere too as I am not a professional.
