• Reporting foreign assets on Schedule FA

I am an OCI, and had RNOR status till last year, but need to file as a resident this year. In ITR2, which section in Schedule FA I should list my:

1. US bank accounts
2. US equity - does each individual stock need to be listed separately?
3. US mutual funds - does each individual mutual fund need to be listed separately?
Asked 4 years ago in Income Tax

It is better to hire a CA bcz schedule FA contains multiple tables. You are required to disclose the transactions in the correct table otherwise it may attract scrutiny.

1.A1

2. A3. Yes

3. A3. Yes. Mutual funds are derivatives of equity.

 

If the total income is more than Rs.50 lacs then you need to report in schedule AL also.
