What type of income is being produced from those Indian accounts? Interest, dividends, sales of investments which would produce a capital gains, retirement account income?

Mostly Fixed deposit (Like CD in USA) which will give interest after maturity. All the income in those accounts are earned in India when parents use to work and paid India tax as per requirements.
