15 January 2012 From above figure there will be loss. I think you wanted to write sale price as Rs 224000/-.

The gain or loss will be shown in Capital Gain Sheet.

If the property is held for more than 36 months the gain will be Long Term Capital Gain otherwise Short Term Capital Gain.

16 January 2012 1st of all check whether you have held the capital asset for more than 36 months or not to determine whether its STCG or LTCG.

03 August 2025 For shopkeepers like you (karyana store, retail medicine, bookseller, etc.), here’s the best guidance on which ITR form to use:

1. Which ITR Form?
ITR-4 (Sugam) is generally suitable if you want to file under the presumptive taxation scheme (Section 44AD), where you declare income as a percentage (usually 8%) of your turnover, and you are not required to maintain detailed books of accounts.

ITR-3 or ITR-4 (normal) is used if you maintain regular books of accounts and want to report actual profits and losses.

2. If you do NOT maintain regular books:
Choose ITR-4 Sugam and opt for presumptive income.

3. If you maintain regular books of accounts:
Use ITR-3 (which is for income from business/profession with books of accounts).

Or choose ITR-4 and fill out the Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet details properly (not the no-account case).

4. Regarding the "No Account Case" column in ITR-4:
If you opt for presumptive taxation (no accounts), fill only the 'No account case' columns.

Do not fill the detailed P&L and Balance Sheet parts in that case.

Summary for a shopkeeper:
Maintain Books? Taxation Scheme Form to File
No Presumptive (Section 44AD) ITR-4 Sugam
Yes Regular Profit/Loss ITR-3 or ITR-4 (normal)
