fa-inrdata-api

A lightweight Python API for historical INR-adjusted stock prices, built specifically for Indian Income Tax Schedule FA reporting.

fa-inrdata-api provides historical daily stock prices already converted to INR using the corresponding State Bank of India (SBI) TT Buying Rate for that date. Instead of downloading Yahoo Finance prices, searching SBI TT rates, and performing currency conversion yourself, this package gives you the final INR value in one API call.

The data is powered by the fa-inrdata dataset.

Why?

While filing Schedule FA (Foreign Assets) in the Indian Income Tax Return, taxpayers are required to report values such as:

• Initial value of investment
• Peak value during the year
• Closing balance
• Value on a specific acquisition date

Obtaining these values is surprisingly tedious.

Typically you need to

• download historical stock prices
• obtain historical SBI TT buying rates
• convert every day's closing price into INR
• determine the maximum INR value for the required period

This package performs those steps for you.

Data Source

This package reads data from

https://github.com/jdecodes/fa-inrdata

Each ticker has one CSV per calendar year.

data/
    AAPL/
        2023.csv
        2024.csv
        2025.csv

    MSFT/
        ...

Each CSV contains

Column	Description
date	Trading date
close	Yahoo Finance closing price
sbi_tt	SBI TT Buying Rate
close_inr	close × sbi_tt

Why SBI TT Buying Rate?

Indian Income Tax guidance for Schedule FA generally requires foreign asset values to be converted into INR using the State Bank of India Telegraphic Transfer (TT) Buying Rate.

This package performs that conversion in advance.
