Long Term Capital Loss in ITR2

49 views 5 replies

Hello everyone.

Figures given are approximat.

Please guide me on this Long Term Capital  LOSS.
Property sold 41 lacs in 2025-26
Aquisition 17 lacs in 2009-10
Indexed aquisition 43 lacs
Fact is there is loss of 2 lacs.
While filling ITR 2  CAPITAL GAINS, point number b(iv) showing gain of 24 lacs
(sale 41- acquisition 17) = 24.
It is not showing a loss of 2 lacs anywhere, as per indexed cost valuation of 43 lacs. I filled all figures properly.
How to c/f this LTC LOSS on sale of property, as loss is not appearing anywhere in capital gain sheet.

no amount is reinvested as there was loss, so no benefit claimed under section 54, that part is left blank.

1)Please guide how to c/f this loss of 2 lacs.

2) As capital gain sheet is showing profit, taking into account aquisition cost without giving effect of indexation, do I have to pay capital gain tax.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to report a long-term capital loss from property sale in ITR2 when the indexed acquisition cost exceeds the sale price. The user is confused as their Capital Gains section shows a profit instead of the actual loss. Guidance suggests checking Schedule SI for indexation benefits and confirming that while the gain might be shown for informational purposes, the actual tax liability should be nil if there's a loss. The user is advised to proceed with filing once they confirm no tax is payable.

  1. The option to select COA with indexation is only if there is any tax payable; not for claim of any loss. So, you cannot carry forward the said loss.
  2. You tax liability (even though LTCG as 24 lakhs) would be Nill.... check Schedule SI.... there the indexation benefit is quite visible.

Thank you Dhirajlal ji for your quick reply.

Yes schedule SI is showing no tax.

Capital gain is showing in schedule TI, but not taxable. It may be for information purpose only.

I think I should proceed with filing.

Thanks.

Yes, your net tax liabiity is nill due to indexation benefit, while you cannot get any benefit of loss; hence you can proceed with fiing.

Thank you Sir, once again.
