    Capital Gain ITR Filing

    The ITR form that taxpayers have to use for filing income tax returns will depend on their residential status and total income obtained from different sources. HUFs and individuals with income other than those under the ‘Profit and Gains from Business or Profession’ head have to use ITR Form 2 for filing IT returns.

    Taxpayers with income from salary, property, capital gains, foreign assets and others are eligible to file ITR 2.

    What is ITR Form 2, and who files this form?

    ITR Form 2, also known as ITR-2, is an income tax return form used by HUF (Hindu Undivided Families) and individuals in India to file their taxes with the Income Tax Department. It is for those who have income from various sources but not from business or profession.

     

    Here’s a list of income of those who are eligible to file ITR-2:

    • Individuals with income from:
      -> Salary/pension
      -> House property (one or more)
      -> Capital gains/losses on investments or
      -> property (short-term or long-term)
      -> Other sources (winnings from lottery, gambling, etc.)
    • Residents with foreign income claiming foreign tax credits and disclosing foreign assets

    Steps to File ITR 2 with Capital Gains

    Individuals receiving capital gains through the sale of equity have to file IT returns every year. One can do it online via the official Income Tax department portal. Here’s a step-by-step guide for the same.

    • Step 1: First, one has to visit the official website of the Income Tax department and log in with the necessary credentials.
    • Step 2: Then, they need to follow this path: e-File> Income Tax Returns> File Income Tax Returns.
    • Step 3: Now, individuals have to select the assessment year, choose the status and select the type of form. After that, they need to select ‘Taxable income is more than basic exemption limit’ as the reason for ITR filing.
    • Step 4: The next page will show 5 different types of schedules. Taxpayers have to select ‘General’ and click on ‘Income Schedule’. After that, they have to tap on ‘Schedule Capital Gains’ and then choose the type of capital assets from the provided list.Step 5: Capital gains are of two types — short-term
    • Step 5: capital gains and long-term capital gains. Short-term capital gains arising from the sale of listed equity shares are taxed at 15% under Section 111A. If one’s total taxable income, excluding STCG, is below the minimum taxable income of Rs. 2.5 lakh, the shortfall will be adjusted with the STCG. The rest of STCG will be taxed at 15% with a 4% cess.
    • Step 6: Long-term capital gains (LTCG) are subject to taxation under Section 112A. The tax rate on LTCG one receives from the sale of equity and equity-related instruments are 10%. However, LTCG is not taxable up to a limit of Rs. 1 lakh.
    • Step 7: Once the necessary schedules are ‘Confirmed’, individuals have to review Part B TTI and then tap on ‘Preview Return’. Now they have to download the ITR and proceed with the declaration.
    • Step 8: On the declaration tab, taxpayers need to provide specific details and tap on ‘Proceed to Validation’. After validation, the ITR filing has to be verified. Individuals can verify electronically or by sending a signed ITR-V printout to the Income Tax Department office
