Question by RANGANATH on Jul 10, 2023Hindi

Should every item mentioned in Form 26AS be mentioned in ITR? like for example purchase and sale of mutual fund securities. Actually it is a conversion from direct to regular.

Ans: From FY 2022-23, 26AS will show details of transactions on which TDS is deducted. AIS statement will show details of purchase and sale of mutual fund units. Taxpayer are not required to show purchase of mutual fund unless amount invested in mutual fund is eligible for deduction u/s 80C.

Further, conversion from direct to regular is considered as transfer of capital asset which is chargeable to tax.

Question by Satish - Dec 17, 2020Hindi

I am a 62-year-old singleton retiree living on interest income from my FD. Every year TDS used to get deducted from this interest income and I used to submit 16A form given by the bank to claim refund. I have also invested in Equity Mutual Funds from these interest amounts in different AMCs in the past few years, and though I used to do switches, I have NOT done any profit booking as there is no need for me to do so. Now my query is as per new ITR should I show the investments in these MFs too? Right now, the 26AS form only shows the TDS deducted.

Ans: You need to include short/long term capital gains/losses of mutual funds while filling your ITR, along with interest income.

Switches from one scheme to another will be treated as transfer under the IT act 1961 and will be subject to levy of capital gain tax, even if the gains are reinvested and not removed.

Whenever you switch or sell any mutual fund, you need show it as the sale value and compute the capital gain/loss by reducing the corresponding purchase value from the sale value.

The mutual fund capital gains will not show up in your 26AS statement, but still needs to be declared in your return.

Question by Ekambaram - Aug 27, 2021Hindi

26As for FY 20-21 displays MF dividend paid plus dividend distribution tax by MF companies wherein I have invested in many schemes. But the figures they have displayed do not actually tally with the dividend and DDT the companies have actually paid. What should I do while filing my ITR form -- display the correct amount under dividend and DDT or the amount displayed in the 26AS. I am a senior citizen aged 81.

Ans: You would need to contact the companies to rectify any errors in your 26AS.

If there is any difference in your tax filing vs 26AS, you would get a notice from the income department.

If the difference is very low, then you can decide whether you would like to pursue the case or go by the 26AS statement.

I am regular Rediff reader. Sir, 1) I am earning through share trading, my income is up to 5 lakh. Please advise which ITR form I have to file. 2) And if my income is with salary and share trading up to 5 lakh, then which ITR form I have to file.

Ans: In both the cases you can use ITR 2 to file your tax returns.

ITR 2 is used to file tax when you have income from salary, income from house property, income from capital gain and loss (in your case shares), foreign income, etc.
