Are FATCA-compliant Indian MFs no longer PFIC?

Post by sunsanshre »

I am confused about the connection between FATCA and PFIC. Many popular Indian Mutual Fund houses are complying with FATCA and asking their investors to identify themselves if they're US tax residents. Does this mean these Mutual Funds are no longer considered PFIC and that R2I'ed USCs can now invest in them without risking PFIC penalties? Please clarify.

These two are different compliance issue. Indian mutual funds are still PFIC.
