In the case of the Jana Gana Mana album, we know that ARR did the musical arrangements for his version and was officially credited for it. In the case of Netaji, we don't know if ARR improvised on the INA version in any way. If there is some evidence to that, I would include it in the listing.

As we list Rahman's JanaGanaMana as HIS interpretation / composition, so also can we accept the INA version as Rahman's interpretation of that anthem, hence his composition ? We will have to wait till the DVD of NETAJI is available. Any idea when it will be released ?

I was just waiting to get hold of the lyrics before including it.
