Dear Experts,
I seek your guidance regarding a client’s foreign investment disclosure issue.
My brother (Resident and Ordinarily Resident) had invested in foreign shares during FY 2021–22 (AY 2022–23) and made further investments in FY 2022–23 and FY 2023–24. However, he did not report these foreign holdings in Schedule FA in the ITRs filed for AY 2022–23 and AY 2023–24.
As of now, he still holds some of those shares and wishes to disclose them correctly in the current ITR for AY 2024–25.
Additional Details:
• Residential Status: Resident and Ordinarily Resident (ROR)
• Years of Investment: FY 2021–22 to FY 2023–24
• Dividend Income: Minimal dividend was received in one or more years (but was not disclosed)
• Total value of shares: Never exceeded ₹1,00,000 in any year
• Current return filing: Planning to file ITR-2 for AY 2024–25
Kindly advise on the following:
1. What are the possible consequences or penalties for non-disclosure of foreign shares and dividend income in earlier years?
2. Can he now disclose only the currently held shares in Schedule FA of AY 2024–25, or is it mandatory to revise or update past ITRs?
3. Is it advisable to file Updated Returns under Section 139(8A) for the previous years even if the dividend income was minimal and tax impact negligible?
4. Will such voluntary disclosure now reduce the risk of scrutiny or penalty under FEMA or the Black Money Act?
Looking forward to guidance from the CA community. Thank you in advance.

Whether unutilised TDS in the previous year, can be used in the subsequent years, kindly clarify

Please find the bug below and let me now how this can be resolved.
This is for ITR2 online filing for AY2025-26, regarding TDS Section for Sale of Property:

1. TDS Section is prefilled with the value "Income from Capital Gains" For Head of Income (Col 12).
2. However, during final validation, I see an error that states the below:
Head of Income (Col 12) - Please select the drop down of head of Income for which corresponding income offered in schedule TDS 3
3. I tried going to TDS section for the sale of property and go to edit mode and then tried to select the value from the "Head of Income" drop down. However the prefilled value "Income from Capital Gains" is missing in the drop down. Only the 3 values "Income from Other Sources", "Income from House Property" and "Exempt Income" are available.
The option "Income from Capital Gains" is missing from the drop down for Head of Income (Col 12) in the TDS section. This is what is causing the validation to fail.

Above is validated from a retired software engineer.
Please let me know if any one has encountered it and how this can be resolved.

This is preventing me from submitting the ITR2. Also let me know, if I can select one of the available option like "Income from Other Sources" and proceed. I am concerned as the amount received is from a property sale and it cannot be categorized under a different head and may trigger audit. I tried discarding the draft and starting a new filing (instead of resume), but the issue persists.

Please help. Thanking you
