Foreign Asset Disclosure
Schedule FA disclosure requirements under FEMA and Income Tax.
Check whether you need to disclose foreign assets / income in your Income Tax Return under Schedule FA. Black Money Act 2015 imposes severe penalties (300% of tax, plus imprisonment) for non-disclosure.
Do you hold / earn any of these abroad?
