    Amith:

    If you are LIVING in India and did the work in India, you have NO tax liability to the U.S. government.

    Your tax liability is limited to what you owe the Indian government.

    Hi AtlantaTaxExpert,
    Thank you for the reply.Yes you are correct.But I think they wanted me to fill W-8ECI , so that they can check my foreign nationality,Because the only thing they know about my nationality is what I have given them at the time of registration.Actually this (Which tax form do I need to complete? - TopCoder Wiki) is the exact link they asked me to refer for submitting the tax-form.
    Thank you once again.
    Amith Kumar.

    You will file W-8BEN. Your income is not subject to the U.S. taxes.
    You do not need to apply for ITIN. Your application will be rejected.
    For India taxes, you can post at http://mytaxes.in
