As you all are aware that filing of FATCA and CRS for calendar year 2018 is near. Due date for filing of FATCA/CRS return is May 31, 2019. Even when there is no reportable transactions under FATCA/CRS, nil return is mandatory. Government has changed the process of filing of these returns last year and introduced new “Reporting Portal” for filing of these returns. Many people finding it difficult to how to file nil return. So, I have prepared below steps to help in filing of nil returns.
