    While filling form 10e what should I enter in columns of total income of previous years and current year- total income including capital gains or excluding capital gains as CG is taxed at special rates.

  2. PRATAP NARAYAN says:

    Can Standard Deduction be claimed from arrear salery in respective year while filling form 10E, when it was not claimed before due to non payment in whole year.

      1. PRATAP NARAYAN says:

        Thanks for your kind reply Mam. But it could not be possible to take benefit of standard deduction from arrear while submitting form 10E. If I reduce the amount of standard deduction from arrear of respective year in column-3 of form 10E, The system by default reduce the total amount of arrear according and paste on page first. I am being looser in that case.

  3. PRATAP NARAYAN says:

    System is auto calculating tax as per old regime in column 6 of form 10E, while I have opted new regime since FY 2020-21 ?

    1. ANITA BHADRA says:

      You need to edit the details in personal particular : Click yes on opted for new regime . System will auto calculate the rates applicable for new regime

    1. ANITA BHADRA says:

      The system will give the benefit of Sr citizen if the date of birth is correctly entered in personal particular / profile section of the return.

  4. PRATAP NARAYAN says:

      I’m also facing same problem. Personal details tab is showing incomplete in Form 10E and is not allowing us to save it after modification. Grievance redressal is not giving any reply. Somebody give solution.

  7. Abcd says:

    While calculating tax in column 2 & 4, should we consider rebate or not applicable for that particular financial year? Because tax already paid after considering the rebate right?
