Transiting in Frankfurt - Canadian visa expires on transit, but have a US B1/B2 - enough?
score:5
Short answer - you're good!
Longer answer...
Germany normally requires a visa for Indian nationals, even if only in transit - however there are a number of exceptions that allow air-side transit without visa (TWOV).
One of those exceptions is if you have a Canadian visa, and you are in transit either on the way to Canada, or on the way to your home country (regardless of where you are traveling from). Clearly your concern here is that your Canadian visa will be expired by the time you arrive in Frankfurt, however this is NOT a problem! As long as your visa was valid when you commenced your return trip, then you will be allowed transit.
So your expired Canadian visa IS sufficient for you to transit Frankfurt.
Another of the exceptions is the same as above, but for a US visa. As you have a valid US visa, you are also covered there.
So your unexpired US visa IS also sufficient for you to transit Frankfurt.
Note that in both cases you will need to remain airside, and will need to be scheduled to depart FRA within 24 hours of arrival.

According to Transit Visa Regulation for Indian Residents:
3. Indian nationals can Transit without Visa via FRA or MUC if holding a valid visa for the destination and a valid Visa for any of the following countries
Bulgaria, Canada, Cyprus, Ireland, Japan, Liechtenstein, Romania, UK and USA (the approval notice I-797 is not valid document for visa free airport transit).
If your Canadian visa expires in transit, and you still have a valid USA visa, then you should still be eligible for visa-free transit in Frankfurt (since your destination is India).
