    Dear Sir,

    I notice that the ITR3 for Long Term Capital Gains under Section 112A does not have the provision for deducting INR One Lakh before calculating the Income Tax. While checking with dummy data, I found both ITR2 and ITR3, whether the excel software or the Java provided by IT Department calculates Income Tax on LTCG amounts which are less than Rupees One Lakh. Even for LTCG of Rs 10,000 the software is calculating tax of Rs 7280. Am surprised no one has pointed it out yet. Or am i doing any mistake.

    Regards,
    — Arun
