I hold shares in an unlisted foreign company which has been duly reported in the Schedule FA. Whether I am required to report the same again in the column 'Whether you have held unlisted equity shares at any time during the previous year?'

Reporting obligation for unlisted foreign company shares: still answer the unlisted-equity holdings column despite prior Schedule FA disclosure.

A taxpayer who reported shares in an unlisted foreign company in Schedule FA must nevertheless answer affirmatively and disclose those unlisted equity holdings in the Income-tax return column asking whether unlisted equity shares were held during the previous year; Schedule FA reporting does not exempt the taxpayer from this separate reporting obligation.
