As per notice from IT Dept, return has been marked as defective return due to income shown being lower than that is in Form-26AS. Assessee received interest on compensation of compulsory acquisition of Rs. 5 lac, of which 50% is exempt u/s 57. Therefore, net Rs.2.5 lac was shown in other sources, whereas full amount of Rs.5 lac is shown in Form-26AS, on which TDS has been deducted. IT dept is giving suggested solution of filing revised return. How to show Rs.5 lac in revised ITR and get 50% exemption u/s 57. Please guide.
Whether after showing full amount of Rs.5 lac in other sources and exemption of Rs.2.50 lac under deduction in other sources would be sufficient compliance as only net amount is shown in total income sheet in ITR-2?
Whether only a reply would be sufficient explaining the above situation? Please guide.
