FACTA has more to do with IRS asking details of US related people ... However the Banker clarified that Canada is also a part of the 58 countries who have signed FACTA ...
I am hesitant in giving this , if it is not mandatory.
Have others CDs also received request for FACTA declarations from their Indian Banks ?
(Fyi , I have a Canadian Passport and the Bank is aware of that )
Just received a FATCA notification from ICICI Bank where I have a NRE/NRO acc.
Is this now mandatory, even for Canadian citizens with OCI? This looks like its more targeted towards the US citizens with OCI.
I am pretty worried about sharing details with the India authorities because I don't know how this information will be used against me in future.
I have less than Rs 50000 in the NRO acc, and a ICICI - IPRU ELITE LIFE II.
I also found this link:
http://nriinformation.com/articles6/index_htm_files/CRS-Tax-Sharing-Countries-Nov2016.pdf
It says Canada will start sharing information with India based on FATCA from Sep 2018. Not sure whether this information is valid or not!
Fido, any latest updates about the FATCA query that you had received from your Indian bank yet??

I did not submit the FACTA declaration to the Bank which asked for it till now and after a few follow ups, they have stopped sending me any emails.
I am not supplying any additional information to them till I visit India next OR they serve some kind of an ultimatum.
Providing details to CBDT -let them go ahead and do it as India has a dual treaty with Canada and whatever I am earning here , I am paying taxes on that - I am certainly not merging the 2 accounts till both the Govts make it mandatory.
Sept 2018 and all financial info will be shared between CRA and indian tax authorities-the link above says it all
Hello,
I am having the same issue. My application is rejected and they are asking for the SIN number. I am very reluctant to give the information. Did anyone manage to get a NRI account without the SIN . FATCA is relevant to US person not Canadian
Thanks ... please let me know
The circular implies we need to provide the SIN number...
Can anyone confirm?
