Can we fill consolidated figures of buy & sell in Sec 112A for LTCG on shares ?
Please reply by email
Where to reflect Long Term Capital Gain from Debt Mutual Fund in ITR 2 for AY 2021 – 22
Where do I book my SWP proceeds of UTI RBP units in the AY 2020-21 ITR 2 return form, Can I show in LTCG in column 3 a. Also it attracts 20% tax since these are bonus shares where value of acquisition becomes zero. Please guide
1.Kindly clarify where the long term gain/loss on receipt of payment through account credit in lieu fractional value of shares on recent amalgamation of Two nationalised Banks is to be entered in ITR-2
2. Kindly also clarify where the short term gain on sale of rights entitlement of Reliance Shares is to be entered in ITR-2.
there seems to be no provision in ITTR 2 for giving consolidated figures of LTG, if there is no grandfathering involved.
do we need to fill in details of all transactions in schedule 112A? irrespective whether grandfathering is applicable. there seems to be a contradiction between the recent CBDT clarification and the ITR 2 form
pl clarify
is Section 112A applicable to shares purchased after 1st Feb 2018?
