LTCG from sale of MF units

I want to sell some MF units which I have been holding for over 10 years. If there is going to be some LTCG (loss or profit) where should I mention it in ITR 2 ? I know that I have to fill Schedule 112A  in case of  sale of shares and it automatically gets carried to CG Schedule.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to report Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) from the sale of Mutual Fund (MF) units held for over 10 years within ITR 2. It explains that Schedule CG, specifically Part B for LTCG, is the relevant section. While Schedule 112A is used for equity shares, information for MF units can be obtained from sources like Moneycontrol for Fair Market Value (FMV) as of January 31, 2018, and capital gains statements from brokers. Remember that LTCG up to £1 lakh is tax-free, with a 10% tax applicable thereafter.

You have to fill itr 2 if you are a salary person or you have income from other source. holding 10 means its a LTCG. up to 1 lakh there will be no tax but after 1 lakh 10% of the ltcg will be levied

Thanks for the quick reply. I found that in ITR 2, I have to fill Schedule CG. This  contains Part A for STCG and Part B for LTCG. In part B, item 4 is for sale of equity shares or equity oriented funds. The data for item 4 comes from Schedule 112A. But Schedule 112A seems to concern only Equity shares   because one of the important columns relates to Fair Market Value of the capital asset/unit sold. How do I get the information on the FMV  of MF units?

You can get FMV as on 31st Jan 2018 from money control website. Also when you will actually sell the mutual funds you can ask for Capital gain account statement from your broker. It will contain the entire computation of capital gain as required to be filled in ITR.

Thank you, Mr. Manthan. The information you provided will be useful when I sell some units.
