  3. Vishy says:

    I’m NRI so need to file ITR-2. I dont have any income from salary in India as don’t have any employer in India. Only income I have in India is interest paid by banks on saving accounts.

    But Schedule S form on ITR-2 asks details on employer but since I don’t get salary in India, not sure what employer details can be provided in this case.

    Java utility doesn’t seem to allow skipping Schedule S section at all. Could you please clarify?

    Hi,
    I have one question regarding ITR2:
    I am a non resident Indian and have Income from Salary outside India. I understand Income from Salary outside India is not taxable.

    As per Java utility tool, it is mandatory to fill Income from Salary and if I fill those details then heavy taxes to be paid is getting calculated. How to handle this in ITR2 ?

    Appreciate if you answer my query, Thanks

    Hello

    For Schedule 112A entry, If I have ~1000 transactions (MF STP/redemptions etc.), how do I go about entering all? Is there a way to consolidate say based on ISIN number? Weighted avg price did not work and gave higher gain! Any suggestion?

    Thanks,

  16. Emilio says:

    While filling up ITR2 schedule 112A, I see 2 issues:
    1. It does not consider rows where there is loss. It takes the loss as 0 and totals all the profit numbers.
    2. It carries the final figure in the CG sheet without deducting the 1 lakh tax free limit for LTCG on equity and shows it added to the total income.
    Are these errors in the utility?

    Q.1 For Equity MFs and stocks , Do I need to show capital gain details per share and per MF scheme in Sch. 112? If yes, do I need to show each and every transaction for all the scrips? If no, where can I show these details in schedule CG?
    Q.2 For debt MFs, where do I show STCG and LTCG? As STCG in debt funds is taxed at applicable tax rate do i need to show in “Income from other sources”? Where do I show LTCG in debt funds? There is no such option in sch. CG.
