What client information is reported by Geojit under FATCA/CRS?

If the client is a resident/citizen of a country other than India, they must declare the country and their Tax Identification Number (TIN) in that country. This information is reported as per FATCA/CRS rules. If the client has not submitted the declaration and the account is considered to be reportable as per information available with Geojit, the account will be reported.
