IT Return 2023-24

Since you have no capital gain income/loss/set-off , you should : 

1.Leave the CYLA-BFLA set-off blank or enter zero values for LTCG/STCG in Schedule CG Table F.

2. Ensure Schedule CG (capital gains) reflects "Nil" or is not applicable.

3. If the software still throws the error, try disabling the BFLA set-off option or fill a dummy quarterly  break up  with zeros in Table F to satisfy the format. 

This validation usually means the Schedule CG table F fields for the quarterly breakup of short-term and long-term capital gains do not match the amounts flowing through Schedule BFLA. In the return, “no capital gains” should generally mean the relevant Schedule CG and BFLA figures are nil—not that a quarterly breakup is left incomplete where the utility expects one.

Recheck Schedule CG, including table F and any loss/set-off entries, and confirm the current-year and brought-forward loss figures in CYLA/BFLA are also nil if none apply. Then run validation again. If the error remains, verify that you are using the correct ITR-2 utility for AY 2024-25 and that no capital-gain figures have carried over from another schedule or import; the exact utility behaviour may depend on its version.

Reconciling Schedule CG with CYLA/BFLA is a useful final check before submitting a belated or updated return. Manual return preparation can make repeated checks difficult; automation can reduce repetitive work while leaving tax treatment and final review under your control.

This error is a validation mismatch between Schedule BFLA/CYLA and Schedule CG Table F (quarterly break-up), usually caused by stray or pre-filled capital-gain cells, not by any actual capital gain.

1. Check Schedule CG fully. Even a 0 or a formula entered in any STCG/LTCG cell (including the 111A/112A, deemed gains or Table E/F rows) makes the utility expect a matching quarterly break-up. Clear such cells completely (use Delete, not 0) if you have no capital gains.
2. Check Schedule 112A and Schedule VDA as well - any value there also flows into CG and BFLA.
3. In Schedule CFL/BFLA, confirm no brought-forward capital loss is shown from an earlier year (often carried in from a pre-filled JSON). If there is a genuine b/f capital loss but no current gain, it should only appear in CFL, not as a set-off in BFLA.
4. Then click Calculate in CYLA, BFLA, CFL and CG in that order, and validate again.
5. If it still persists, re-download the latest ITR-2 excel/JSON utility for AY 2024-25 (updated return), import the pre-filled data afresh and re-enter only the relevant schedules. Alternatively, prepare the return in the online/offline JSON utility, which does not have this macro issue.
6. Updated return points: for AY 2024-25 (FY 2023-24), Sec 139(8A) now allows filing within 48 months from the end of the relevant assessment year, with additional tax under Sec 140B at 25%/50%/60%/70% of the aggregate tax and interest depending on the time of filing. Pay that tax and enter the challan before submission. An updated return cannot be filed to reduce tax or increase refund.
7. Note that from 1 April 2026 the Income-tax Act, 2025 applies, but returns for FY 2023-24 continue under the Income-tax Act, 1961.

Overall Summary: Clear all stray entries in Schedules CG, 112A, VDA and BFLA, recalculate in sequence, and use the latest utility; the error should go once Schedule CG and BFLA are both nil.
