Practical advise to File online. since they will issue scrutiny notice otherwise as they never have details of offline returns filed. Theoretically, you can file offline.

It says:

"Mandatory to e-file tax returns for those with LTCG of Rs 2.5L or more, even though their total taxable income may be below Rs 2.5L"

Is it true?
