RSU Taxation Puzzle

Hello experts,

I have RSUs that are vesting after 3 years in May 2022. During the 3 years, I was on USA payroll for 30 months and Indian payroll for 6 months. I am told that I have pay taxes in India when shares vest, even though I am in USA when the shares vest. I cant figure this out. Here are some more details. Please advise why I have to pay taxes for a temporary stay in India.

2006 to 2020 - USA resident alien

Jan 2020 to June 2021 - Indian employee in India

July 2021 - current - USA resident alien

Not A Product Question

With regard to U.S. taxes, as a resident alien you must report all income from sources within and without the U.S. See page 10, Resident Aliens, in this IRS reference:

The tax laws of India are beyond the scope of this forum.
