How to report ltcl from mf and shares in itr2

If a particular FY has only LTCL from sale of mutual funds and/or listed securities(STT paid), where should such LTCL loss be reported in ITR2?

Schedule CG ->?

Curiously in ITR2, in the Schedule CF B4 to B6 cells are hidden. Some years back they were visible.

Schedule EI does not take negative values in reporting LTCG.

So dont know where such loss can be reported and carried forward.

Kindly help.

My Principal did not allow such loss to adjust against any other gains or income....... leave aside to carry forward.........

Can you specify, under which section the LTCL from STT paid equity are allowed to be carried forward?

So then question is: whether LTCL from MF and Equity should get reported on ITR2 or not?

LTCG from equity funds or equity held above 1 year are being reported in Schedule EI.

What if there is a LTCL loss after sale of equity MF or listed equity after 1 or 5 years of holding? Where should such loss get reported on ITR2; I agree we cannot adjust such loss against any head in future?

Should we should report it? If not why the tax department not want to know the long term losses incurred from MFs and equity in a FY?

" So then question is: whether LTCL from MF and Equity should get reported on ITR2 or not?
My question is what is the advantage of its reporting???????

Advantage of reporting: I am reporting to the Income Tax Department that I have incurred losses too and the losses have been realised in this financial year.

And why would ITD not want to know? Are they only sitting to know my gains?

Whom do we tell our loss incurred then?

File P& L account with Balance sheet to show the capital loss, though not required.

Thank you. So in salaried class nothing should be reported on ITR2 for LTCL from equity MF and listed securities.

And, ITR2 only for LTCG, STCG and STCL that can be CFL.

Correct?

Thank you Sir. When should one use the LTCG u/s 112(1) in Schedule CG section B3?

What constitutes u/s 112(1)?
