• LTCG tax

During the FY: 2017-18 , I have LTCG of Rs.107294/- by selling shares listed in NSE. As far as I know, these gains since occurred before 31-3-2018 and STT paid are tax free. When I enter the details of this in the ITR-2 Java Utility, 10% tax on LTCG is getting deducted. Why this is happening?. I used the B 3.1 of Schedule CG -- From sale of (I) listed securities (other than a unit) or zero coupon bonds where proviso to section 112(1) is applicable. Is exemptions under section 10(38) on Long-Term Capital Gains
not allowed in this case.?

Hi

The LTCG are exempt.

Report it under Exempt income from LTCG and not under the Capital Gains.

Enter the details in Sheet - EI (Exempt income). There's a specific line for this LTCG. Only Net profit needs to be entered. No CG sheet details are required for this one.

Hi,

Don't put the details of long term gain on equity shares in schedule CG.

You are supposed to put it in schedule EI under exempt income.
