23 July 2018 Hi,

I have an income from salary with a private organisation Apart from salary, I have some small savings bank interest, some dividends (all below respective tax threshold) and some LTCG for selling shares with over 1 year holding period on which STT was paid (and executed before the new LTCG norms came into effect).

1. I am guessing due to LTCG (even though exempt) I need to fill ITR 2. Is that correct?

2. In ITR 2, I see some sections like CG and OS where one needs to fill income from other sources and interest income and so on. I am guessing that’s nor non-exempt categories and I would not fill those? All I need to disclose is the EI section for my savings a/c interest, minor dividends and exempt LTCG?

3. Also for filling EI section, for LTCG, suppose I have some LTCG loss and some LTCG gain (exempt), while making the disclosure I just need to disclose the total attributable to gains or need to factor out the loss? For instance suppose I sold shares of one company at a loss of Rs 50,000 and gained (final sale value minus principal) Rs 2 lakh for selling shares of another company, do I mention Rs 2 lakh or Rs 1.5 lakh as exempt LTCG?
