Problem in filing ITR 2

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a common problem encountered when filing ITR 2, specifically regarding the entry of capital losses in Schedule F. Users are reporting that the e-filing software does not accept negative figures or brackets for losses, treating them as gains instead. This prevents the total capital gains figure from matching Schedule 112A, leading to validation errors. Several workarounds are suggested, including adjusting losses against gains in subsequent quarters, entering zero in all quarters if there's an overall loss, and understanding that the quarterly breakdown is primarily for advance tax interest calculation.

The problem occurs even in the lastest ITR2 . Split up details does not allow negative figures.

Section F breakup in CG is only needed when you use Schedule BFLA to bring your previous losses.

For me it LTCG was 3,000/- which was not even taxable

And STCG was -15,000/-

So, had nett loss of 12,000/-

I simply deleted the F section (There is a button Edit and Delete at top-right corner of Section F), as I don't want to bring more losses, instead this nett loss of 12,000/- will be carried forward to next year.

If we had profit in current year then it makes sense to bring losses from previous year to set off and provide quarterly breakup in Section F.

I also could not enter negative values in quarterly breakup in Section F.

Section F cannot be deleted with delete button at right top corner, It only deletes all entered values in the section.

I simply entered 0 for the first four quarters and entered the actual LTCG & STCG for the full year in the fifth quarter. It worked!!

Part F only profit to be entered period wise for purpose of advance tax  and if not deposited on time, then it calculate interest on that.
