The short version
- The Income Tax portal now displays foreign asset data under the Reports tab.
- This information comes from international agreements like CRS and FATCA.
- Data for calendar years 2022, 2023, and 2024 is currently available.
- You must still report all foreign assets accurately in your tax return.
In short
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has added a new 'Foreign Assets Information' section to the Annual Information Statement (AIS). This feature helps you see what financial data the government has received from other countries so you can report it correctly in your tax return.
What has changed
How it worked before
Previously, taxpayers had to track and report their foreign assets and income without a centralized summary of the data already held by the Income Tax Department.
What has changed
A new 'Foreign Assets Information' tab is now available within the AIS on the e-Filing portal, showing data received from foreign partner countries.
Who this affects
This affects you if you are an Indian tax resident who holds foreign bank accounts, investments, or receives income from abroad.
An example
Suppose you hold a bank account in the UK. You log in to the e-Filing portal and find this account listed in the new 'Foreign Assets Information' section of your AIS. You use these details to ensure the balance and interest are accurately reported in your Schedule FA and Schedule FSI when filing your tax return.
What you should do
Log in to the Income Tax e-Filing portal, go to the 'Compliance Portal', open the 'AIS' section, and click on 'Reports' to review your 'Foreign Assets Information'. Use this to ensure your Schedule FA and Schedule FSI are filled out correctly.
If you do nothing
Nothing happens if you do not view this specific tab, as it is a tool for your convenience. However, you remain legally responsible for reporting all foreign assets and income accurately in your tax return, regardless of whether they appear in the AIS.
