An individual encountered a discrepancy between the sale value of shares reported on their AIS and the actual settlement price. The AIS reflected a higher closing price than the strike price at which the shares were settled. Seeking advice on how to report this mismatch, the consensus is to flag the information as partly correct on the AIS portal, using the contract note as proof of the actual settlement value.
The assessee has sold certain shares under compulsory delivery mechanism as the call sold by him closed out of the money. The price that he sold and closing price of the same on the last day of settlement is different. The AIS shows closing price of the share which is almost 5% higher than the strike price at which it was settled on the last day of settlement. There is no option to flag it in the AIS for this mismatch. It does not have the option to mention that the price captured by system is wrong. Should I go for information partly incorrect and submit the response and file the return with the real settlement value? Please suggest.
