Navigating the complex landscape of Income Tax Return (ITR) filing becomes particularly crucial when capital gains from property transactions come into picture. If you have sold a house, land, or any other property, reporting capital gains accurately is important for compliance. You need to organize all the necessary documentation, including sale deeds, purchase agreements, and details of improvements made to the property while filing your ITR. Declare the capital gains in the appropriate sections of the ITR form and do not forget to take advantage of exemptions and deductions available to optimize your tax liability. Accuracy and transparency in reporting capital gains will contribute significantly to a smooth and compliant ITR filing process.
Investing in shares and stocks can be a profitable attempt, but it also brings tax liabilities and responsibilities. When it comes to ITR filing for gains from shares and stocks, meticulous documentation become important and plays a important role. Compile details of all transactions, including purchase and sale invoices, stock statements, and dividend income. Utilize the correct sections of the ITR form to declare these gains, ensuring you adhere to the specific guidelines for reporting capital gains or losses from equity investments.

Any asset held for a period of up to 36 months (earlier 24 months before FY 2017-18) is considered a short-term capital asset. For certain assets like equity shares, the holding period for classification as short-term is 12 months.
Any asset held for more than the specified holding period is categorized as a long-term capital asset.
The profit arising from the sale of a short-term capital asset is termed as short-term capital gains. The tax on short-term capital gains is calculated based on the applicable income tax slab rates.
The profit arising from the sale of a long-term capital asset is termed as long-term capital gains. For certain specified long-term capital assets, like equity shares, mutual funds, and immovable property, LTCG is subject to special tax treatment.
The basic formula for calculating capital gain is:
Capital Gain=Selling Price−(Cost of Acquisition+Cost of Improvement+Transfer Expenses)Capital Gain=Selling Price−(Cost of Acquisition+Cost of Improvement+Transfer Expenses)
In India, the taxation of capital gains varies for short-term and long-term gains:
Taxed as per the individual's applicable income tax slab rates.
For certain specified assets like equity shares and mutual funds, LTCG is taxed at a concessional rate of 10% (without the benefit of indexation) or 20% with the benefit of indexation, whichever is lower. However, there is an exemption limit, and gains up to a certain limit may be exempt from tax under specific conditions.
