1) Rs 100000 is exempted from 220000 u/s 112A and difference of 120000 is taxable as LTCG.

2) This is Long Term Capital Gain.

When you enter details of shares sold (resulting in LTCG Rs 2,20,000/-) in Schedule 112A, the system automatically deducts the exemption of Rs 1,00,000/- and takes the balance of Rs 1,20,000/- as taxable LTCG. There is no need to separately claim the basic exemption of LTCG of Rs 1,00,000/-.

As for the second question, it seems that the rights shares are your entitlement on shares held earlier. In my view, the sale proceeds of these rights shares entitlement are neither LTCG or STCG, and have to be reported in Other Sources income, item 1e of form ITR 2. However, experts on this Forum may give their opinion in this matter. Thanks.

When I saw calculation in My ITR2 it shows 220000 as taxable income

Can I make change

or is 100000 deduction available for only capital gains for sale of shares without indexation on 31 jan 2018

Assumed that your LTCG of Rs 2,20,000/- is in respect of shares held by you on or before 31.1.2018, that security transaction tax was paid on their sale, and therefore this amount is eligible for an exemption of Rs 1,00,000/- from LTCG.

If you have entered the figure of Rs 2,20,000/- in Schedule 112A, then you would find that in Schedule SI, the last column against item 5 (2A) {for Sch 112A}, would show the tax payable on this would be Rs 12,000/- and not Rs 22,000/-. In Sch TTI also, against item 2b, the tax on LTCG of Rs 2,20,000/- would appear as Rs 12,000/-.

Mr Sabyasachi Mukherjee

I request you to provide the text of Section 112AA of the Income-Tax Act, for information and better clarity in the matter. Thank you.

The instructions for filling out Form ITR- 2 - Income-Tax, under "Schedule CG - Capital Gains, item b', state:

'..... tax shall be charged at a flat rate of 10% in Schedule SI on the aggregate LTCG , as reduced by Rupees One Lakh, for the purpose of tax computation after giving benefit of Rs 1 Lakh each u/s 112A and 115AD(1)(b)(iii). This benefit of Rs 1 lakh will be given in Schedule SI'.

Mr. Rammohan

how can can you comment on query no. 2 when the question does not specify in detail the date of acquisition and date of sale.

1. Question no. 1 was about claiming the basic exemption of Rs 1 lac on LTCG on the ITR. So the questioner was clear that there was an LTCG on the shares sold and that these shares were purchased by him on or before 31.1.2018.

2. Question no. 2 reads: "I also sold rights issue (shares purchased in 1990) of reliance for 25000 is this LTCG or STCG". This indicates that this was a separate transaction of Rs 25,000/- in addition to Rs 2,20,000/- mentioned in question 1. Hence the interpretation is that the questioner is referring to the Reliance Rights Shares entitlement which he has sold in addition to the shares referred to in question 1.

That is why my answer: "In my view, the sale proceeds of these rights shares entitlement are neither LTCG nor STCG.... " clearly indicates that the answer relates to the rights entitlement, not to shares held. My interpretation could be wrong and so I requested experts to give their opinion.

Maybe the questioner could please clarify his second question - whether he sold more shares (i.e. in addition to those mentioned in his question 1), or whether he sold the rights entitlement he was eligible to (on the shares he had purchased in 1990), in addition to those mentioned in his question 1..

3. Since Sec 112AA was not available to me, I requested for the text of this Section.

Thank you.
