• Are STCG from T-bills (treasury bills) adjustable against Basic Exemption Limit for NRI (FY 2023-24)

NRIs Individual (not FII) can adjust their STCG against any shortfall in tax exemption limit if the STCG does not fall under Section 111A of the IT Act.

As per my understanding only equity/shares, equity mutual funds fall under 111A where as treasury bills (<365 days) do not fall under 111A

1. Can STCG from T-bills be adjusted against shortfall in basic tax exemption Limit for NRI
2. Where in ITR-2 should STCG from T-bills be shown?
3. Does anything change for T-bills for FY 2023-24 since there is change in tax benefits for debt mutual funds.

1)  STCG T-bills are taxable at slab rates as these are not equity shares or equity oriented mutual funds. So you can utilize your entire slab limits. Section 111A will not apply. If total income is between 6-7 lakh it will be around 20% plus cess. 

2)STCG from T-bills should be reported in Schedule CG.

3)The changes in the budget are around long term capital gains for the debt oriented mutual funds.

As per the Indian Income Tax Act, short-term capital gains (STCG) on the sale of listed securities, including T-bills, are taxed at  individual's slab rates.
