LTCG arises from sale of shares is exempt upto 100000 rupees u/s 111A. File ITR 2 return. In your case income is less than basic exemption limit so no tax liability is arises
1) Being a freelance recruiter, you are into profession and such income would be taxable under profits/gains from business & profession. 2) As far as LTCG is concerned, no tax even if such gains exceed ₹1 lac provided the total income is within the basic exemption limit of ₹2.5 lacs 3) You may use ITR3
LTCG arises from sale of shares is exempt upto 100000 rupees u/s 112A.
ITR 3 OR ITR 4 WILL APPLICABLE, AND YOU MUST FILE YOUR RETURN EVEN THOUGH YOUR INCOME IS UNDER 2.5L, AS YOU HAVE SHARE TRADING YOU MUST FILE YOUR RETURN .
I have filed my return under ITR 2, as was not having any freelancing income. I was filing under ITR 2, so this time wanted to know whether ITR3 or ITR4 is applicable and can LTCG can be clubbed under Income Tax Slab.
ITR4 cannot be used in case of capital gains. So ITR3 is appropriate here. LTCG can be included within the basic exemption limit and no tax would be payable.
ITR 3 should be filed as LTCG arises
Itr 3 or 4, also contact a CA ,rather than filing own
