The Income Tax Department has enabled the Foreign Assets of Small Taxpayers Disclosure Scheme, 2026 (FAST-DS 2026) on the e-Filing Portal. Introduced as a one-time compliance opportunity by the Government, this scheme allows eligible taxpayers to voluntarily disclose specified foreign assets and foreign income that were not reported. Under the scheme, eligible taxpayers can furnish the prescribed declaration form online through the e-Filing Portal. Navigation Path: e-File → Income Tax Forms → File Income Tax Forms → Under Other Acts → Foreign Assets of Small Taxpayers Disclosure Scheme, 2026 (Form 1 of FAST-DS 2026) For detailed information and filing guidance, please refer to the FAST-DS 2026 Documentation and User Guide available on the Income Tax Portal. Take this opportunity to regularize previously undisclosed foreign assets and income through the Government's one-time voluntary disclosure scheme.
