i've filed my return of income for ay 2010-11 bfore the due date prescribed u/s 139(1).
In the ROI furnished i have disclosed STCG which relates to trading(sale) of shares similar to shares i've already held in my portfolio for more than 12 months.
To conclude i had 50 shares of a particulars stock purchased at Rs 100 each (held for more than 12 mths), further in the CY i have bought further 25 shares of the similar stock at Rs 50 each and sold at Rs 55 each such 25 shares.
So for the computation of LTCG is it mandatory to apply FIFO method as in which case i'll be having a LTCL whereas i have disclosed STCG applying LIFO.
Another issue is, can i revise my return in case FIFO method is mandatory.
I'll be thankful to you for any Clarify in this regard.
with the very fact that original return was not under 139(3) though filed under tme limit specified u/s 139(1), can i revise it u/s 139(5) containing a loss.
