ITR-2 Filing Blocked – BFLA Schedule Bug in Both Online & Excel Utility

61 views 1 replies

Has anyone else faced this issue while filing ITR-2?

  • I have short-term capital gains under Section 111A (15%) from sale of equity MF (STT paid).

  • In the Capital Gains schedule, the amount correctly appears under 111A (15%).

  • But in Schedule BFLA, the system wrongly maps it under 3iiib – STCG u/20**%** instead of 3iiia – STCG u/15%.

  • Since BFLA is auto-populated and not editable, I get a validation error because totals between CG and BFLA do not match.

  • Same issue happens for some other capital gain categories too.

I raised grievances for both online filing utility and Excel utility. Sadly, the bug exists in both, so I am stuck and cannot submit my return. I am losing time switching between utilities.

This is very frustrating, and if not fixed quickly, it may delay filings for many taxpayers.

Questions for the community:

  1. Are others facing the same issue?

  2. Has anyone heard back from ITD/CBDT about a timeline for a fix?

  3. Any reliable workaround?

Would appreciate if others can also raise this so it gets priority. This bug is serious because it could block or misreport capital gains for a large number of filers.
