Hello friends,

During the filing of ITR of one of our clients, i am facing the folllowing problem:-

He had invested Rs. 10,000 in an Equity oriented MF 5 years ago.
Now during the PY 12-13, he received Rs. 12,000 on maturity.

How should we show this in his ITR?
Is Rs. 2000 his income from other sources during the PY or we should show it as Income under the head Capital Gains?
Or is there some other tax treatment?
