Dear Sir... Many thanks for great effort to educate us

Thanks a lot for motivating

In A3, do we need to fill shares bought in previous years as well ? or only shares for this current calendar year ?

[@PareshnathMandal-x2y]

Sir, you have made the FA entry very clear and easy. My only question is under which ITEM of FA , A to G, 401K retirement Benefit a/c ( of USA ) will be entered ?

[@CAAbhiJain]

Thanks..no specific column...u can fill in other

[@anupthakare6679]

If A3 is filled, A2 needs to be obviously filled. Right?

Thanks for proper clarification 👍

Very informative video on FA

[@cooldude.1811]

I have purchased foreign stocks through Indmoney on NYSE, which includes both stocks of US companies as well as non US companies like Sony Corp. For US companies, there is no issue, but for non-US companies, the Schedule FA forwarded by Indmoney shows the country code as '02-United States', but the company address is shown as that of the parent company e.g. for Sony, it is their address in Japan. I hope this is in order and is supposed to be entered in the same manner in Section A3.

Thank you for the educative Video... Needed a video on the following topic.....An individual is working for an Indian Company (eg TCS) on work permit at their office (TCS) located outside India and his salary is being paid in Foreign Currency of that country by TCS. The individual is also getting separate Indian salary at India being part of TCS. What will be his residential status (temporary period of work permit for one year). The individual has opened a Bank Account in that country to receive his foreign salary. He doesn't have any other share/investment in that country then how to reflect that in ITR. Pl post a video on this.

If having any FD outside india in which item of Schedule FA to report it?

[@abhaykhetarpal1445]

Dear Abhishek ji -- as UK's FY is 6Apr23 to 5Apr24, which is pretty close to India's FY, can I use the UK FY instead of the Calendar year for Peak balance, Closing balance and Interest income for my UK Savings bank / Depository account info in Schedule FA?

[@CAAbhiJain]

No ...from 1st April to 31st December for disclosure

[@codedusting]

So basically, for most people, it will A1, A2, A3 is what is required. A1 is for SBM & Federal Bank details. Peak balance is highest held balance from January to December any month. Closing balance as well for December. A2 is for Alpaca type account. A3 for equities. Last year, since I never realised the gains or loss, my CA didn't mention this section at all. This year, I am mentioning it. Any penalty in such case? Because I suffered loss anyways.

[@CAAbhiJain]

Nothing to do with loss or income...its disclosure and penalty upto 10 lakhs for Non disclosure

[@codedusting]

@@CAAbhiJain Ok. As per the IndMoney, they said no need to mention SBM Bank India and Federal Bank as both are Indian banks. So only A2 and A3 are required. A2 is Alpaca. Peak, closing, nature of income and amount is confusing as it's just one entry field but I have STCG loss and dividend income. Sigh! And crypto is another headache as the unrealised one cannot be shown under VDA.

[@rajasekarvenkatesan2071]

None of these forms require disclosure of CPF [retirement savings made as per statutory requirement of the country where an NRI was working] balances. I am informed that the retirement benefit savings of NRI working abroad need not be disclosed as no interest is paid out and this savings is mainly to pay some subsistence allowance after retirement. Can you throw light on this. THanks

[@CAAbhiJain]

Yes

[@ASHUTOSHSINGH-fm2me]

In case of A2, Do we need to disclose everything? Or we need to disclose transactions that happened in the calendar year only? Example: For the FY 2023-24, let's say my account has 10 shares before the 1st January 2023. So, for the declaration of closing and peak balance, I need to consider 10 shares as well? Or Do I need to consider transactions that happened after 1st January 2023?

So the way I see it, foreign shares can be declared in Schedule FA under Table A3 or even Table B. In the explanation of financial interest in Table B; point 2 says "a corporation in which resident assesse owns, directly or indirectly, any share or voting power". So as per this, even table B can be used. Am i correct sir?
