ERRROR IN ITR2 FILING

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

A user encountered an error when filing their ITR2, as the portal wouldn't accept a short-term capital loss amount, displaying a 'balance should not be less than 0' message. Other users suggested filing a grievance with the tax portal or checking the offline JAVA utility for ITR2, as this technical glitch prevents accurate loss reflection for future filings.

23 July 2025 ok fine. but usually, a grievance is filed only for refund issues, or some complicated issues,
can we file a grievance for this portal software technical issues.?
since losses are not booked here, in itr2, it won't be reflected in BFLA column of itr2 of the forthcoming years
