ITR selection for salary plus MT sales

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

If you have salary income, interest from savings/FDs, and have sold mutual funds, you might be wondering whether to use ITR1 or ITR2. Generally, if you have capital gains from selling mutual funds, even small amounts, you may need to file ITR2. However, if the capital gains are Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) under Section 112A and are exempt (up to £1 lakh annually), you can still use ITR1 as it allows for declaring exempt capital gains.

06 June 2025 File ITR-2 for your w..... in AY 2025–26, You have capital gains (even small ones, like ₹5,000 from mutual fund sale).
Check whether the mutual fund sale was equity-oriented and held for more than 12 months (then LTCG and exempt up to ₹1 lakh/year).

For FDs, check TDS deducted in Form 26AS or AIS and include interest as "Income from Other Sources".

06 June 2025 If LTCG is u/s. 112A and as such exempt, you can file ITR 1, as the option to declare such exempt CG is available in ITR 1 of AY 2025-26.
