Schedule FSI is used to report income that has accrued or arisen from sources outside India and to claim any tax relief available under Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA).
Schedule TR is used to consolidate the details of tax reliefs claimed in India for taxes paid abroad, effectively summarising the information provided in Schedule FSI.
Schedule FA is mandatory for residents of India (excluding those categorised as Not Ordinarily Resident or Non-Resident) and details all foreign assets, income, and accounts held during the calendar year.
When filing Schedule FSI, you need to report the country code, your Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) or passport number, total foreign income, tax paid outside India, and the tax relief claimed in India.
Foreign income reported in Schedule FSI must also be reflected under the relevant head of income (e.g., salary, business) in your main ITR form, using the country code for the source country.
Schedule FA covers various foreign assets including depository accounts, custodian accounts, equity and debt investments, insurance contracts, financial interests in foreign entities, immovable properties, other capital assets, and trusts.
