This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

If you're a salaried individual who sold equity mutual fund units in FY 2024-25, you need to determine the correct Income Tax Return (ITR) form for AY 2025-26. While capital gains up to ₹1.25 lakh from equity funds are exempt under Section 112A, this may mean you can continue to file using ITR-1. However, if your capital gains exceed this threshold, you will likely need to file using ITR-2.

27 August 2025 If she sold equity based MF units, whereby the capital gain would be exempt u/s. 112A up to 1.25L. In that case she can still file ITR 1; otherwise ITR 2 will be required.
