Normally Q1 is from April 1 to June 30 and Q2 from July 1 to Sep 30 so on, But there it is mentioned that Q1 upto June 15 and Q2 from June 16 to September 15 so on. Which one should I consider becaue based on the period, total tax liability gets changed

Hello Author, very helpful article. However, adding Debt Mutual Fund details in “Sale of Assets other than all the above listed items” still is taxed at 10% for LTCG instead of 20% (verified by visiting Schedule Special Income section in ITR2). Can you please check this and update the article if needed. Thanks.
I am having income from sale of Listed Debentures (Asset type- Long Term). In which schedule of ITR2, it should be entered. I think this should be taxed @10%. But when I enter it in the schedule “Bond and Debenture), tax is deducted @20%
In my view, enter the details in 6th Row in Schedule CG : From sale of listed securities

Hello Sir/Madam, I am getting the following error when I am trying to submit my return for AY 2023-24:
In Schedule 112A, Total is not equal to the sum of individual rows
I had uploaded the csv file and then clicked on each entry to check where the error is. I am still not able to find a solution since the Total is automatically calculated. Please assist.
Please make sure that all the schedules i.e., CYLA, CFLA & SI are confirmed and the net amount in Schedule BFLA is entered in Sl. 5 of Table F in Schedule Capital Gain.
If still not happening , share the details at [email protected].
Hello madam, I followed the steps that you mentioned but the error is still persisting.
I am thinking it might be a technical/system error, so have raised a grievance with the IT help-desk. I will keep you updated once I get a resolution from their end. In case I don’t get a reply, will send you the details.
Thank you very much for responding to my comment.
O.K.
Feel free for any further clarification.
Hi Madam, I didn’t get any proper assistance from the IT help-desk, but I was able to resolve this error by reducing the number of rows in schedule 112A (by consolidating some of the transactions). In case someone is facing this same issue, hope this solution will be useful.
Thanks again for the guidance. Will reach out in future for any queries.
Madam, I incurred Capital Losses during AY 2018-19, 19-20 and 20-21. I could only partially set off them during AY 20-21. During AY 21-22, I forgot to set them off though I had Capital gains. Can I now set those losses in the AY 22-23?
There is lot of discrepancies in amounts between AIS,.26AS and pass book entries. When we report data in AIS as not correct ,no reply is coming from the company. We cannot wait indefinitely till reply is received.
Do not wait for AIS to respond. Enter the correct amount as per records available with you.
In case, the previous year losses are reflecting in Schedule BFLA (Brought Forward Loss Adjustments), then only it will be set off against current year gain. There is no other way to set off losses of previous years .
i have purchased foreign exchange for a small amt to remit for educational purpose of my close relative. minor bank charges collected. for me itr 1 is applicable. should i show transaction in itr 1 and where to show.
In my view, small amount of foreign remittance & bank charges thereof need not be reported in ITR .
