Should I mention about Fidelity account in ITR for FY 2017 to2018


11-Jul-2023 (In Tax Law)
I was Granted RSU in July 2017 and my Fidelity account was opened by employer but these RSU were not vested in FY2017-18. These will vest in Jul 2018. Should I mention about Fidelity account in ITR for FY 2017-18 and which ITR to file ?

Since your income becomes accrued in July 2018 then it falls for AY 18-19 and you need to mention the same while filing ITR for AY 18-19. Since you are salaried you shall file your return in ITR-4 which shall be notified by CBDT in due course of time for AY 18-19

RSUs will give you an interest in company stock but will have no tangible value until vesting is complete. The restricted stock units are assigned a fair market value when they vest. Upon vesting, they are considered income, and a portion of the shares are withheld to pay income taxes. Therefore you are not required to disclose the same in your returns for FY 2017-18.
Now coming to your next question about which return to file it depends upon the nature of your job and your salary. Until and unless you tell me about that I cannot comment on the same. But mostly you will have to file ITR 4
