Hi
I am international student on F1 visa from India for past 3 yrs in US
Can I use the india-us tax treaty to get my whole tax money back?

I don't think so, and I rather hope not, if you were here for any period, you should be required to pay some taxes, just as I would expect if I was living in India..

The tax treaty does not say that you will get whole tax money back. What tax money are you asking about?
