This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies how to report salary and interest from a foreign checking account on Schedule FA. The consensus is that the 'Gross interest paid/credited' field on Schedule FA point A1 should only include actual interest earned, not salary deposits. Salary should be reported separately under point G as 'Any other income'.

28 December 2024 I have a checking account in USA. I need to report this in schedule FA point A1.
Point A1 has a field "Gross interest paid/credited to the account during the period". Do i include my salary in this field or just the interest. I am reporting my salary separately in point G as well.

29 December 2024 Yes, it is 'Gross amount paid/credited to the account during the period' It is aggregate of the amounts credited to the account.

29 December 2024 Thank you so much for your reply. But in the ITR it reads Gross Interest paid/credited to the account, so does it mean gross amount or interest? If i show this salary here, do i report it again in point G along with the company(source ) name?

29 December 2024 Yes, it is interest credited. In that case no salary declaration in this column. Salary will be declared in Tab G .. 'Any other income Derived..... '
