Should I report my US salary for January, February, March in Schedule FA?


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
If you're an Indian resident who earned salary income in the US and paid Indian tax on it, you need to report this in Schedule FA. While most sections of Schedule FA refer to the calendar year ending 31st December, the specific rules for reporting income under Table G (any other income from a foreign source) also align with this calendar year. Therefore, you should report your US salary earned from January to December of the relevant financial year in Schedule FA.

19 November 2024 I have earned income in USA from salary, I have paid tax in India on the same as I was a resident during AY 24-25.

When I look at schedule FA, the rest of the points mention 31 December as the cutoff date, but point G doesn't mention it. Do I report my Jan, Feb, March salary in there or point G follows the same reporting calendar year?
