The amount in the FCNR is freely repatriable. Interest earned on FCNR deposits in India is exempt from income tax. SFT -011 reporting are not for Bank/s to report, if bank reports it under SFT-011, it will not be considered by ITD; as it has to be reported by "any person who is liable for audit under section 44AB of the Act" for reporting "Receipt of cash payment exceeding Rs. 2 lakh for sale, by any person, of goods or services of any nature". Under any conditions you are not under fault or at any loss for misreporting of the bank, so by any legal action over bank, you would not gain anything.
