Sir,I

have sold a house for a Total Consideration of Rs 8,25,000 and have received an advance of Rs 82,500(50,000 cash on 18.02.2021and 32500 through cheque on 20.02.2021)i.e. in F.Y.2020-21.

But the remaining balance payment of Rs 742,500 has been received through Demand Draft at the time of actual registry on 14.07.202121(i.e. in F.Y.2021-22).

While filling ITR-2 for F.Y.2020-21;whether the advance of Rs 82,500 received in F.Y. 2020-21 is to be reported?

If yes, where in ITR-2 ?

Can this Total Amount of 8,25,000 (82500+742500=825000)be reported together in ITR-2 of F.Y. 2021-22 next year ?

Regards,

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the reporting of advance payments received for property sales across different financial years. It advises that an advance of Rs 82,500 received in FY 2020-21 for a property sold in FY 2021-22 should not be reported in the ITR for FY 2020-21. The full sale consideration of Rs 8,25,000 should be reported in the ITR for FY 2021-22, the year the property was actually registered and sold.
