Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to report interest earned on FCNR deposits held by NRIs in foreign currencies like USD and JPY. It clarifies that ITR-1 is no longer suitable for NRIs, and ITR-2 must be used. As the ITR-2 form for AY2025-26 is not yet available, filers will need to wait for its release and updated reporting formats.

@ Sudhir Vardhan

An NRI can no longer use ITR-1 Form from last two or three years.

ITR-2 has to be used.

For AY2025-26, ITR-2 form is still not available, so you will need to wait.

Thanks for the response. 

However my question on FCNR deposit Interest still needs clarity.

@ Sudhir Vardhan

You have to wait for the ITR-2 form for AY25-26 to be released.

It is very difficult to tell in advance, by anyone, what new reporting format would come in the form.  

Regarding time available for filing ITR-2 for AY25-26, that also is  a huge mystery since only ITR-1 and ITR-4 filing date has been extended.
