ITR filing -- long term capital gains

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses a query regarding Income Tax Return (ITR) filing for long-term capital gains (LTCG) arising from commercial property. The user received compensation for vacating premises and deposited it in a capital gains account but couldn't reinvest. Advice suggests paying LTCG tax if the account is closed, and guidance is sought on filing the ITR for the correct assessment year, potentially via an updated return if there's a tax liability.

30 August 2024 You need to get permission from your jurisdiction ITO to close the account.
For which you are required to pay LTCG tax over the property, saved earlier.

30 August 2024 As such you cannot file ITR for AY 2022-23 unless you have any additional tax liability.
If you have tax liability, file updated return for AY 2022-23.
Or wait for any departmental query.
