The problem

Why RSU tax is a nightmare.

Most CAs spend three to five hours per RSU client — spreadsheets, manual SBI rate lookups, copy-paste errors. GainSutra eliminates all of it.

1.1

Manual spreadsheet hell

Every vesting date, every SBI TT rate, every conversion — entered by hand. One error cascades into wrong tax filings and penalty exposure.

1.2

Schedule FA complexity

A2 and A3 tables require per-holding data across multiple brokers and years. Most CAs skip or consolidate incorrectly — a compliance risk.

1.3

SBI TT rate lookup

Every transaction needs the exact RBI-mandated SBI TT buying rate for that date. Finding these historically takes hours of manual research.

1.4

Multi-broker chaos

One client might hold RSUs in Fidelity, a bonus in Morgan Stanley E*TRADE and dividends in Charles Schwab — each with a different PDF format and data structure.

02
The method

Three steps. Zero headache.

From broker PDF to portal-ready figures — without the data ever leaving the browser.

01

Upload the PDF

Drop the broker statement — Fidelity, Charles Schwab, Morgan Stanley At Work, Morgan Stanley E*TRADE, Computershare or EquatePlus. The engine auto-detects and parses it.

02

Auto-calculate

Capital gains computed from vesting FMV, sale price and SBI TT rates — STCG vs LTCG classified, INR conversion applied. Entirely client-side.

03

Export and file

Download Schedule FA A2/A3 tables, an ITR-ready capital gains summary and Excel workings — ready to paste directly into the income tax portal.

03
Capability index

What's under the hood.

Seventeen capabilities across seven parts. Everything below ships in the platform today — no roadmap promises.

IImport02
§ 3.1

PDF auto-extraction

Position-aware text extraction reads each broker's PDF structure independently — scrambled columns, footnote-terminated pages, vector-path documents. No manual entry, ever.

§ 3.2

Six broker parsers

Dedicated parsers for Fidelity NetBenefits, Morgan Stanley E*TRADE, Morgan Stanley At Work, Charles Schwab, EquatePlus and Computershare — each tested for that broker's format.

IIComputation03
§ 3.3

Capital gains

Lot-level STCG and LTCG auto-classification for every RSU vest. Holding period from acquisition date; Finance Act 2024 rates — 12.5% without indexation for LTCG, slab for STCG.

§ 3.4

Dividend income

Per-payment SBI TT rate matching for every dividend. Withholding tax credits under applicable DTAA provisions, with per-row rate override for exceptional cases.

§ 3.5

Form 67 — foreign tax credit

FTC computation for dividend withholding under Section 90, with the DTAA article reference included. Form 67 data is ready before the ITR — exactly when it's needed.

IIICompliance03
§ 3.6

Schedule FA — Table A2

Custodial account disclosure generated automatically: country, institution, account number, peak and closing balances and gross interest — original currency and INR, on the Jan–Dec year.

§ 3.7

Schedule FA — Table A3

Per-holding foreign equity disclosure: acquisition date, quantity, initial, peak and closing values in INR at the applicable SBI TT rate. Split by stock, split by year, traceable to source.

§ 3.8

Auto peak value detection

The A3 peak is the highest value a holding reached during the calendar year — not its closing value. Computed from a live price database across the full Jan–Dec window, at daily SBI TT rates.

IVIntelligence02
§ 3.9

SBI TT rate engine

Twenty-four years of SBI TT buy rates (2001 to present) across USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, DKK and SGD — indexed and auto-applied per Rule 115: the last working day of the month preceding the transaction.

§ 3.10

Auto currency detection

Currency detected on upload — EquatePlus defaults to EUR, Computershare to GBP, others to USD. A dismissable banner confirms it; per-row manual override is available.

VExport03
§ 3.11New

Software-ready export

Capital gains and Schedule FA exported in direct import format for Computax, Genius, ClearTax and TaxBuddy — one-click download, no manual modification. Import the file and the data lands exactly where it should.

§ 3.12

Excel workbook

Multi-sheet workbook: capital gains, dividend income and Schedule FA A2/A3 each in their own sheet, formatted as required for ITR-2/3.

§ 3.13

Client PDF summary

A formatted, client-facing report covering capital gains, dividends, Schedule FA and Form 67 in one document — built for CA-to-client delivery without further editing.

VIPrivacy01
§ 3.14

100% client-side

All computation runs in the browser. No PDF, no transaction data and no client financial information is sent to any server — verify it yourself in DevTools → Network while uploading a PDF.

VIIPlatform03
§ 3.15

Multi-FY support

FY 2020–21 through FY 2024–25 in any combination across brokers — each financial year computed under the rules applicable to it independently.

§ 3.16

Multi-currency display

₹ / $ / € / £ / A$ / kr / S$ applied automatically across all tabs, with INR conversions shown alongside foreign values throughout.

§ 3.17

Free & Professional plans

Free: one broker, FY 2023–24 and 2024–25, capital gains. Professional: all six brokers, all ten years, Schedule FA export, Form 67, Excel, client PDF, software-ready export and multi-client management.

04
Supported platforms

Every major broker. Covered.

Each parser is built and tested against that broker's actual statement format.

05
Privacy first

Your data never leaves.

The architecture is the privacy policy: there is no server to leak from.

100% in-browser

All PDF parsing and calculations happen locally on your device. Your client's data never leaves their browser — not even for a millisecond.

Zero data storage

We store zero client financial data on our servers. Not your PDFs, not your numbers, not your transactions. Nothing.

Verifiable proof

Open Chrome DevTools → Network while uploading a PDF. See zero data requests to any external server. Verify it yourself, right now.

06
Penalty schedule

The cost of getting it wrong.

Indian tax law treats every RSU filing error differently — under-reporting, misreporting and non-disclosure each carry a separate penalty section. These are not warnings. They are the law as it stands.

Black Money Act 2015
s.41 / s.43
Schedule FA non-disclosureA flat penalty per undisclosed foreign asset — irrespective of the asset's value, whether any income arose, or whether the omission was intentional.
₹10,00,000
Income Tax Act 1961
s.270A
Under-reporting & misreportingUnder-reporting of capital gains attracts 50% of the tax on the under-reported amount; misreporting — a wrong SBI TT rate, holding period or cost basis — raises it to 200%.
50–200%
Income Tax Act 1961
s.234A / s.234B
Interest on unpaid taxSimple interest accrues on tax not paid by the due date — s.234A for late filing, s.234B for advance tax shortfall. An undercomputed gain increases this liability directly.
1% / month
Black Money Act 2015
s.42
Prosecution for wilful non-disclosureWilful failure to disclose foreign assets is prosecutable — rigorous imprisonment in addition to the tax and penalty already due.
3–10 yrs
IT Rules 1962 · r.115
read with s.270A
Wrong SBI TT rate — cascading errorAn incorrect rate shifts the cost of acquisition, changes the gain, alters the tax and affects the interest. Each downstream figure inherits the error; under s.270A this qualifies as misreporting.
Cascading
FEMA 1999
s.13
FEMA penalties on foreign assetsUndisclosed foreign assets held in contravention of FEMA attract a penalty of up to three times the asset's value — independent of income tax proceedings and applicable simultaneously.
Up to 3×
These penalties are not mutually exclusive. A single incorrect RSU filing can simultaneously attract penalties under Section 270A of the Income Tax Act, Section 41 of the Black Money Act and Section 13 of FEMA — across three separate proceedings. Correct computation at the source is the only reliable defence.

From practices that file RSU returns every season.

Finally a tool that handles the Fidelity PDF format correctly. Schedule FA used to take me 3 hours per client. Now it's under 10 minutes.

My NVIDIA clients always struggled with their RSU filings. GainSutra made the whole process transparent — they can actually see how their numbers are computed.

CA Priya R.Pune · tech sector specialist

The SBI TT rate lookup alone is worth it. We used to maintain a separate spreadsheet just for that. This tool handles it automatically, date-by-date.

CA Suresh M.Hyderabad · RSU & ESOP practice

Form 67 and the FTC working used to be the part I dreaded every season. Now it's generated before I even open the ITR utility.

Multi-broker clients were impossible to reconcile by hand. One upload each and the Schedule FA just builds itself — peak values and all.
