Bank accounts to be blocked if not self certified by April 30

India had entered into an agreement with USA for implementation of FATCA with effect from August 31, 2015. Under the rule 114H (8) of the Income-tax Rules, 1962, the financial institutions have to obtain self-certification and carry out due diligence in respect of all individual and entity accounts opened between July 1, 2014 and August 31, 2015.

This was required to have been done by August 31 last year, failing which the accounts would be closed.
