20 June 2017 Sir,
An individual has sold some old utensils of copper and brass (tamba and pittal), of his mother’s time .
He has received around Rs. 30,000 from this sale.

Que.1 : Where to show this amount in Income Tax Return ? Under which head ?
Que.2: Should this amount be really shown in I.Tax return or not required ? Please guide in this confusion.
Que.3: Is this amount really his income ? or Capital ?
Que.4: If it is income, then ,
(i) Do this sale of old utensils attract Capital Gain ?
(ii) If yes, then how to decide capital gain ?
- The individual does not know when and at which price these utensils were purchased by their parents.
- He has no any invoice of their purchase. So he cannot arrive at the indexed cost .
- Thus, How to decide the capital gain ?

Please, guide and share your opinion.


20 June 2017 "personal effects" are not regarded as capital asset. So? No capital gain.

20 June 2017 SO...if the capital gain is not applicable here,
then should the amount received Rs. 30,000 be shown in income tax return as Income ?

If yes,
then under which head ?

Please guide.
Thanks.

20 June 2017 It will be added to capital account and not in income tax return.

21 June 2017 it is NOT income.
You can, if you insist, show it under exempt income
