  3. Part A of Form 67 captures taxpayer and foreign income details, including PAN and assessment year.

  4. Part B covers foreign tax adjustments, such as refunds due to carry-back of losses or disputed tax.

  5. Filing requires registration on the Income Tax e-filing portal, active PAN linked with Aadhaar, and supporting documents for foreign tax paid.
