Although the Swiss government has agreed to details of real estate assets, information on contributions to non-profit organizations and other bases, as well as details on investments in digital currencies remains out of limits of automatic exchange of information framework, officials said.

"This will help clearly clear concepts"
Experts and those participating in the business of attracting investments to Switzerland said the move will help make mistakes on all funds entries to Swiss assets illegal and there will be a long way to a preferred investment destination as a preferred Investment destination, including establishing property.

Switzerland founder and CEO of Switzerland, the parent's signature IDDI investments, participating in the affairs of dressing Indian investments and other countries to Switzerland, including starters and real estate, said that transparency had its own virtues and the proposal.  Sharing of this useful information of property ownership of foreigners is appreciated. 

This information was generally hidden and eventually, this is something uncommon. After all, ownership property is not something that can be maintained among mantles," says a businessman of Indian origin that only applies to his first name and he has been taking Him in Geneva for many years. The movement will go a long way to make Switzerland an attractive investment destination.. India received the first set of Details of Switzerland under AOI (automatic exchange of information) in September 2019. It was between 75 countries to acquire such information that year.

From this year, the Federal Council of Switzerland, the top country board, has decided to implement an important recommendation from the World Forum on Transparency and Information Exchange. However, other recommendations from the Global Forum, including the exchange of information on digital currency accounts and contributions made to foundations and non-profit organizations have not yet been accepted and therefore information will no longer be shared by Switzerland with India or any other country. For now.

The rushed lobby is underway to convince Switzerland worldwide to start sharing information on digital currency accounts and contributions made to non-profit entities.
A close to nearly three million financial accounts with various jurisdictions details were shared by Switzerland, while the score is expected to be greater this year.


In the two previous years, India has been one of the prominent countries where Switzerland shared details of the financial accounts of the clients of Swiss banks and several other financial institutions, while it is also expected that it is maximum this year with respect to the Details on real estate properties.  Indians, a lot of resident and non-resident Indians, as well as Indian companies, will explain a large number in the general list of those in the exchange of information by Switzerland, said private development officials.

This score is similar to last year. These cases are mainly related to the oldest accounts that could conclude before 2018, for which Switzerland shared the details with India in a previous framework of mutual administrative assistance, as the Indian authorities provide premium evidence of the irregularity with respect to taxes by the account holders. AOI only applies to active accounts or closed during 2018. 

Clearly, these cases were previously instructed by the Indians in various jurisdictions abroad, such as Panama, the British Virgin Islands, and the Cayman Islands, while individuals majorly have the involvement of entrepreneurs and some politicians and members of their families. Officials, however, refused to share details on the exact number of accounts or quantum assets maintained in Indian accounts, for which the information was shared with India, with reference to the strict confidentiality clauses.
