What is FATCA and CRS this is what I am going to explain you in Hindi.
What is FATCA?
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) is a piece of US tax regulation that aims to combat tax evasion by US persons opening accounts offshore.
FATCA aims to detect and discourage offshore tax evasion by U.S. citizens or U.S. residents by requiring financial institutions to identify and report accounts held by U.S. persons. Where account holders refuse to be identified, financial institutions are required to report them based on information available.
The main aim of FATCA is to restrict US persons to create wealth outside USA like in Mutual Funds, NPS, Fixed Deposits etc. It not only is for US persons but also binds business entities.
Government of India has bilateral agreement with Government of United states to implement FATCA.
What is CRS?
Alike FATCA, CRS stands for Common Reporting Standard(CRS) is a globally accepted standard to automatic exchange of financial information among nations, set forth by OECD(organization for economic cooperation and development, which is in close cooperation among G-20 nations , EU(European union) and other countries.
