In ITR2 for AY 2019-20 after I enabled the content, and filled the required data for LTCG calculation I got the balance against row 4c, which turns out to be less than 1 lakh. The excel utility should show 0 against row 4d and carry 0 to B4f. Instead it carries the amount at 4c. How do i get the corrected figure ?
In the new income tax return we have to furnish details of shares held, purchase and sale of unlisted companies …… pls let me know what is the defination of unlisted shares and what details have to be submitted ……. have we also to submit details of Shares held in Pvt Ltd companies closely held ?
Your early reply awaited
In ITR 2 for AY 2019-20 in the TDS sheet (Item 22) it is mandatory to indicate the salary income and corresponding TDS (if any). If an individual did not have any salary income in FY 2018-19, but had income from bank interest for which TDS was deducted (and no other source of income), how is this TDS refund to be claimed? In the previous year in similar cases ITR 2 form was used where it was not mandatory to indicate the salary income. Kindly advise / guide.
Excellent article. I have a query – In General section (Other Details sub-section) of ITR-2 form for FY2018-19, what should be the response (yes/no) to the questions “Whether you are Director in a company at any time during the previous year” and “Whether you have held unlisted shares at any time during the previous year” if the company was a foreign company? If the answer is ‘Yes’, then what should be entered in the “PAN” and “DIN” fields? In the ITR utility provided by the Income tax dept, it is mandatory to fill a 10 digit PAN and an 8 digit DIN but the company has no PAN or DIN since it is foreign.
I am senior citizen working part time in organization. Can I fill ITR1 and claim deductions under 80 C and 80 D?

I tried to fill ITR 2 for the assessment year 2019-20 but came across the following problem:
After filling Part A-General ,I tried to validate sheet but got the following message:
Please select the dropdown for field”Whether you are Director in a company at any time during the previous year ?”
I could not find this field “Whether you are Director in a company at any time during the previous year ?” in the ITR 2 downloaded from website.
Can you clarify ?
