Disclosing Foreign Assets and Income Using Schedule FA, FSI and TR:

Disclosing Foreign Assets and Income Using Schedule FA, FSI and TR If you are an Indian resident and have any income from outside India or own any foreign assets, it is very important to report them in your Income Tax Return (ITR). The Income-tax Act, 1961, requires the resident taxpayers to disclose their foreign assets and income in their ITR under schedules FA, FSI, TR, and Form 67. To report foreign assets, the taxpayer can do the same in Schedule FA (Foreign Assets) of their ITR. Schedule FSI (Foreign Source Income) is for reporting income from foreign sources. If you have paid taxes abroad, you can claim credit in India using Schedule TR (Tax Relief) and Form 67.
