2. If I need to fill ITR2 (I have been filing my own returns and have only filled ITR1), please let me know in ITR 2 how the capital gains has to be entered with what amount and in what schedule of the ITR?

Ans: I am not clear if this question you are referring to is also related to the ULIP policy of yours. As explained above, you don’t need to pay tax on this if you fulfil the Sum Assured criteria for the policy. In such case, you can show it as other income that is exempt from tax.

If you are asking a generic question, or even if your ULIP is taxable, you will need to fill out the capital gains schedule in the ITR 2, providing scrip-wise details for long term capital gains while filing ITR 2. This will include ISIN, Selling Price, Purchase price, date of different transactions and more.

Tax, Mutual Fund Expert - Answered on Jul 27, 2023

Dear Mr. Parikh, I am 86 years age and retired from IOCL (PSU). Last year I sold 2 nos. of Mutual Fund. The difference between sale and cost price was about Rs. 13296 which is less than the taxable limit of Rs. 100000/-. A sum of Rs. 10834/- was deposited as TDS. I propose to fill - ITR Form 1 including the Capital Gain of Rs. 13296 in the Exempt Income (for Reporting Purpose). Kindly advice whether this is in order or should I fill - ITR Form 2 ?
Ans: Dear Rajesh,

Firstly, I appreciate your diligence in managing your taxes. Now, coming to your query, the choice between ITR-1 and ITR-2 depends on the nature of your capital gains.

ITR-1, also known as Sahaj, is for individuals with income up to Rs. 50 lakh from salary, one house property, other sources (interest, etc.), and agricultural income up to Rs. 5,000. However, it does not allow you to report capital gains.

On the other hand, ITR-2 is for individuals and HUFs not having income from profits and gains of business or profession. It includes the provision to report capital gains.

In your case, since you have capital gains from the sale of mutual funds, even if it's less than the taxable limit, it would be more appropriate to file ITR-2. The TDS that has been deducted can be claimed as a refund in your return if your total income is below the taxable limit.

Please consult with a tax professional or chartered accountant to ensure you're following the correct procedure as per the latest tax laws.

Remember, it's always better to be accurate in your tax filings to avoid any future discrepancies or issues with the tax department.

I hope this helps.

Best Regards

Sir My Age is 38 Now. Running Business In Pune city. Below are the My Assets & Liabilities. Current Values - Assets. Own Industrial Plot - Rs. 2.0 Cr Business Income Yearly Rs. 24.00 Lack Own Company Investment ( Machinery, Debtors Etc ) - Rs 2.40 Cr Mutual Fund & Share Market Investment Rs. 2.10 Cr Bank FD - Rs. 50.00 Lack Own 3 Flats in Pune - Rs. 75 lack, 50 Lack & 35 Lack ( Current Values ) Golds - Rs. 25.00 Lack Land - Agriculture - Rs. 50.00 Lack Term Insurances - Rs. 20.00 Lack ( Till Date Premium Paid ) Labilities. House Loan - Rs. 30.00 Lack ( EMI 26500.00 PM ) Loan will close after 17 years. Car Loan - Rs. 6.35 lack ( EMI 12500.00 PM ) Loan will close after 5 years. This Assets & investment sufficient for maintain 7 family members Expenses after retirement ? ( 4 Adult + 3 Children (Below 5 Years) ). I will retire at the age of 45.
Ans: Hello;

What is the expected monthly rental from industrial plot and machinery?

Are you currently occupying one of the flats mentioned here or are all of them given on rent?

Also your term life insurance is very low. You should have minimum term insurance cover of 2.4 Cr.

You have good assets in agri land, industrial land, gold, real estate but they are relatively illiquid when need arises hence term insurance cover with riders for critical care and accident benefit are an absolute must!

Considering the home loan tenure of 17 years and 3 small kids in the family to be supported for education and decent lifestyle, I am not sure if you can retire in 7 years timeframe from now.

However I would appreciate your reply to my queries above, before I give my firm view about your retirement in 7 years timeframe.

Best wishes;

I have around 1 crore to invest. I am 61 years old retired defence officer and pension amounting to around ?1,50,000/- per month and medically covered. Need some sound investment plan for 1 crore. Don't have any liabilities?
Ans: Hello;

You may invest your corpus into following two funds in proportion of 50:50,

1. Kotak Arbitrage fund (low risk)
You may consider modest return of 6% from this scheme.

2. ICICI Pru equity savings fund (low to moderate risk). You may consider modest return of 8% from this scheme.

Theses investments will retain purchasing power of your corpus aginst inflation and deliver some real returns too with low to moderate risk.

This is in accordance with your age and commensurate risk appetite.

Happy Investing;
