So, let’s have a look on what are some important amendments in ITR 2 and who are eligible to file the same.

First of all ITR 2 is the biggest and exhaustive return as far as Individual and HUF is concerned where Individual and HUF is not earning income from business and ITR 2 is also the first and basic return for non resident individual to file in India.

Let’s first see who are eligible to file ITR 2 Form:

This Return Form is to be used by an individual or a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) who is not eligible to file Form ITR‐1 (Sahaj) and who is not having any income under the head “Profits or gains of business or profession”

This Return Form should not be used by an individual whose total income for the Assessment Year 2021‐22 includes Income under the head “Profits or Gains of Business or Profession”.

Below are the major amendments in ITR 2:

Option to avail benefit u/s 115BAC is provided in ITRs: For assessee opting under 115BAC are not eligible for certain deductions and allowances as mentioned below :

Option of Filing ITR in response to notice u/s 153A and 153C is removed from ITR as requirement to file ITR under these sections is omitted.

 

In Schedule CG (capital gain), the allowable difference between full value of consideration u/s. 50 C and value of property as per stamp authority has been increased from 1.05 times to 1.10 times

 

In schedule OS (Income from other sources):
(i) The existing drop related to “Dividend income” is bifurcated into 2 parts i.e “Dividend income [other than (ii)]” and “Dividend income u/s 2(22)(e)” and respective changes are done in sl.no.2e _DTAA field and in sl.no. 10(i)_Quarterly breakup of Dividend income.

(ii) Dividend will now be taxable from Rs.1/‐ as the section 115BBDA is omitted. Accordingly Interest expenditure u/s 57(1) to earn Dividend can be claimed at sl.no. 3.

(iii) The existing drop down at Sl. No. 2d “115AD(1)(i)‐ Income received by an FII in respect of securities (other than units referred to in section115AB)” bifurcated into 2 drop downs as under:‐

(vi) In existing Sl. No. 10 “Information about accrual/receipt of income from Other Sources”

Field “Dividend Income u/s 115BBDA” is changed to “Dividend income” due to finance Act changes

New line item is inserted to capture the quarter wise break up of “Dividend income which is taxable at DTAA Rates”. This information will be used to calculate interest u/s 234C.

 

In Schedule CFL, the bifurcation of PTI loss and other than PTI loss has been removed from “HP loss”, “Short term capital loss” and “Long term capital Loss”
