Hi, I am reviving an old thread because this is exactly the query I have.
I have only income from capital gains - NO OTHER source of income. This income is by way of sale of stocks on the exchange, and have already been subjected to Section 111A. I am a resident Indian. As per the discussion here, I am not required to pay tax if my total income (80,000) is below the maximum exemption limit - in my case 1.6L.
However, when I file my returns using ITR 2 on incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in, the Tax Return Preparation software computes my tax at 15% + cess. Is that correct?
