This discussion clarifies how to report a property sale and subsequent purchase in an Income Tax Return (ITR). It addresses showing a Long Term Capital Loss (LTCL) of ₹3,00,000 and claiming a TDS refund of ₹1,60,000 from the sale. The query also seeks guidance on reporting a jointly purchased property and whether the wife's income impacts the filing process. A point of clarification is raised regarding the sale date potentially being October 2022 instead of October 2023.

Is it typo error??? ..... Whether the sell of the property took place in Oct 2022 or Oct 2023? If Oct 2022; you need to file return for AY 2023-24, under sec. 119(2)(b), provided not filed earlier.
