10 April 2016 AY 2016-17
File balance sheet data also in AY 2016-17.
.
If you show amount invested as 20 lacs then there may be a question regarding the balance 10.00 lacs.
.
Whereas, if you are filing Balance Sheet data also then the question of unexplained investment does not arise.
.
In AY 2017-18, you can utilise additional investment of Rs 10.00 Lac.
.

11 April 2016 Sir
As far as sources of Income is concern in our case is perfectly legal. hence there is no problem.
What I need in clarification is that in ITR -2 for the AY 2016-17 should I mention cost of asset as Rs 30 lac, since I had to take benefit in next AY 2017-18 of Remaining Rs 10 Lac.


12 April 2016 So far the presentation in ITR is concerned, you have to show the amount of deduction/exemption i.e. Rs 20.00 Lac only.
As such you are not supposed to show Rs 30 lac. Please refer Schedule CG for Capital Gains.
