Things you should remember while reporting capital gains/losses in ITR
If your financial year involved buying or selling assets, understanding how to correctly report capital gains or losses in your Income Tax Return (ITR) is paramount. While a tax advisor can guide you, a basic understanding of these concepts will empower you to manage your taxes effectively. What is a Capital Asset? As per Section 2(14) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, a "Capital Asset" is broadly defined to include "any kind of property held by an assessee, whether or not connected with business or profession." This wide definition covers everything from shares, mutual funds, and real estate to gold, and even certain intangible assets like patents. The origin of acquisition doesn't change its status; even if an asset is acquired with tax-exempt income, it remains a capital asset. Holding period matters Generally, an asset held for more than 36 months immediately preceding its transfer is considered long-term. However, there are some exceptions, though. For listed equity shares, units of equity-oriented mutual funds, listed debentures, Government Securities, Units of UTI, and zero-coupon bonds, the holding period is 12 months for gains to be eligible for long-term capital gains. For unlisted shares and immovable property (land or building or both), the threshold is 24 months. This period for immovable property was reduced from 36 months with effect from AY2018-19. What constitutes a "transfer" or sale? While "transfer" typically implies a sale, Section 2(47) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 provides an inclusive definition, encompassing a broader range of transactions that trigger capital gains tax. These include sale, exchange, or relinquishment of the asset; extinguishment of any rights in relation to a capital asset; compulsory acquisition of an asset; maturity or redemption of a Zero Coupon Bonds; allowing possession of immovable properties to the buyer in part performance of a contract (as per Section 53A of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882); any transaction that effectively transfers or enables the enjoyment of immovable property, and disposing of or parting with an asset or any interest therein, or creating any interest in any asset in any manner whatsoever. ITR form and documents If your income includes capital gains, you will likely need to file ITR-2 or ITR-3. For capital gains transactions, especially from shares, you'll require a summary or profit/loss statement from your broker. For mutual funds, consolidated capital gain statements from CAMs and KFintech are essential. For the capital gains/losses from equity shares, you can check with your broker for a capital gain statement. For the sale of Virtual Digital Assets, you can get transaction report or Profit and Loss report from respective exchanges. For immovable property, sale and purchase deeds, details of improvement costs, and transfer expenses are needed. Additionally, you'll need standard documents like your PAN, Aadhaar, bank account details, and Form 26AS. Setting off and carrying forward capital losses Capital losses can only be set off against capital gains. You cannot set off capital losses against income from other heads like salary or house property. Short-Term Capital Loss (STCL) can be set off against both Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG) and Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG). Long-Term Capital Loss (LTCL) can only be set off against Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG). If your capital losses cannot be fully set off in the current financial year, both STCL and LTCL can be carried forward for up to eight assessment years immediately succeeding the year in which the loss was incurred. Crucial condition for carry forward To avail the benefit of carrying forward losses, it is mandatory to file your Income Tax Return for the year in which the loss was incurred on or before the due date as prescribed under Section 139(1) of the Income Tax Act. Failure to do so will result in the forfeiture of your right to carry forward these losses.

MF Central is a unified digital platform designed to simplify mutual fund management for investors in India. It was launched in 2021 as a collaboration between CAMS and KFintech, following directions from SEBI. While updating nominee details is one of its most widely used features, it is important to recognise that MF Central offers several other services aimed at enhancing investor convenience and comfort. All these services are delivered in compliance with regulatory rules, regulations, and standards. Let us now explore three key features of MF Central beyond nominee detail updates. Several investors hold multiple portfolios across various Asset Management Companies (AMCs) such as SBI Fund Management, HDFC AMC, and ICICI Prudential AMC. This can lead to fragmentation and make it difficult to manage all portfolios efficiently. MF Central plays a crucial role in such situations. This platform allows users to consolidate these portfolios and their holdings, provided they share the same Permanent Account Number (PAN), mode of holding along with other key details. Therefore, this consolidation simplifies the tracking and management of individual portfolios. Thus making investing a pleasant experience for individual retail investors.

The MF Central platform allows investors to update their email address, residential address, phone number, and bank account details across all mutual fund holdings through a single request by submitting a simple form. This feature ensures that all communications and transactions are properly directed, significantly reducing the risk of digital fraud, scams, failed transactions, or missed updates. In unfortunate circumstances such as the demise of the investor, transferring mutual fund units to the rightful heir can be a long, drawn-out, complex process. MF Central helps immensely simplify this process by providing applicants with an online facility to transfer units. Legal heirs and all rightful owners can initiate the transfer of shares by submitting the necessary documents digitally, streamlining what was previously cumbersome. Therefore, as the Indian mutual fund ecosystem continues to grow and evolve, digital platforms such as MF Central are becoming increasingly crucial by fostering financial inclusion along with empowering investors. Beyond just updating nominee details, MF Central's key role in reducing paperwork and focusing on compliance helps save time. The platform's capabilities around folio consolidation, contact and bank detail updation, and unit transmission play an extremely important role in making investing easier in the country.
