Bug in ITR-2, Schedule TDS, Sub-section TDS-3 (TDS on capital gains due to sale of property)

1380 views 10 replies

Hi Everyone,  Could you pls help if anyone has faced and resolved following issue in ITR-2.

Issue : ITR-2 filled with Capital Gains due to sale of property. In pre-filled form, in the TDS schedule, in section TDS-3, the data of TDS paid by buyers comes populated OK with Head of Income(Col12) showing as Income from Capital Gains.

However, when trying to Validate this ITR2, it shows error and asks to go back to TDS-3 and fill Col12 (Head of Income). Now, the Col12 of TDS-3 appears empty, and when trying to fill this Col12 through a dropdownlist, the option to choose Income from Capital Gains -is NOT SHOWN, only options shown are Income from other sources/house property/exempt.  So obviously cannot save TDS-3 and validate.

Can someone help/advice. Thanks

Quick Summary
Users are encountering a bug in the ITR-2 utility when trying to report TDS on capital gains from property sales. Specifically, after pre-filled data populates the TDS-3 schedule, validation fails because the 'Income from Capital Gains' option disappears from the 'Head of Income' dropdown when entering details for multiple buyers. While some suggest re-entering data or filing online instead of using the downloaded utility, the issue persists for many, and grievances filed with the Income Tax Department have yet to yield a response.

Try as below:

First delete the TDS entry by selecting it first.+

Re-enter the  TDS data again; this will allow you to select CG in it.

Tried it Sir. Did not work

Tried it Sir, Did not work . Actually TDS has been paid separately by two buyers who have bought the property jointly. After deleting the pre-filled data, when i try to input data again, it lets me choose Col12-Head of Income - as Ïncome from Captal Gains"only for one buyer. For the next record, it does not show the option Ïncome from Capital Gains

I am also facing the same issue

Both the TDS certificates should have different Sr. nos. and must be allowed to enter under CG; but there seems to be glitch in the utillity. file complaint under Grievances with screenshot.

Did file a grievance with step by step screenshots. Still no response from the IT Department. I read recently in Economin Times that Income Tax department is taking cognizance of social media posts of one CA Aditi Bhardwaj Ma'am . Hope some such media-savvy CA can do the same to highlight or explain this glitch to the Inc Tax department

@ mypc77

Why don't you all send "Letter To The Editor" of few well known newspapers, highlighting multiple bugs in ITR-2/3?

15th Sept is not far away.

Facing the exact same issue, when "Income from Capital Gains" is selected under Column 12 for any one line under the TDS3 table, this option disappears for the 2nd line. Only one of the two lines can select this CG option, not both. This was the case even when a record deleted and fresh inputs made.

Raising the issue with grievance, hope the ITD fixes it soon. 

If someone found a workaround already, kindly enlighten.

 

 

Same issue. Many grievances filed in IT Portal but glitch still exists. Like someone else suggested, probably a faster way is is if many affected users highlight this on twitter etc social media or newspaper

The problem seems to be only when filing thru downloaded utility . 

But on filing ITR2 in 'online' mode, there were on errors with the TDS3 table, column 12 (which comes pre-filled as income from capital gains for both records) and the validation went off very smooth. 

Though had to spend time for manual input of all missing/corrections of prefilled data all over again, was worth it.

Hope this helps others who still facing the issue.
