ITR-2 Return Filing for Capital Gains, Multiple Properties & Foreign Assets

CA-reviewed ITR-2 filing for individuals and HUFs with capital gains, more than one house property, foreign assets or income above ₹50 lakhs — accurate schedules, complete disclosures, filed on time.

Quick answer

ITR-2 is the income tax return form for individuals and HUFs who do not have business or professional income but whose income goes beyond the scope of ITR-1 — total income above ₹50 lakhs, capital gains from shares, mutual funds or property, more than one house property, foreign assets or foreign income, directorship in a company, or holdings in unlisted equity shares. NRIs and RNORs without business income in India also file ITR-2. The due date is 31 July of the assessment year (unless extended), and the return must be e-verified within 30 days of filing. Because ITR-2 involves detailed schedules — Capital Gains, 112A, Foreign Assets, AL — accurate computation and complete disclosure matter far more than in ITR-1.

Who should file

ITR-2 eligibility and who must use it

ITR-2 sits between the simplicity of ITR-1 and the business-focused ITR-3. It covers every kind of personal income except income from business or profession — which makes investors, property owners, NRIs and senior executives its most common users.

If any single item below applies to you, ITR-1 is no longer valid and ITR-2 (or a higher form) becomes mandatory. Filing the wrong form can make your return defective under Section 139(9), so the eligibility check is the first thing we do.

  • Total income above ₹50 lakhs
  • Capital gains from shares, mutual funds or property
  • Long-term gains u/s 112A above ₹1.25 lakh
  • More than one house property
  • Foreign assets, foreign income, ESOPs or RSUs
  • Director in a company or unlisted equity shares
  • NRI / RNOR taxpayers without business income

FAQs

ITR-2 filing questions answered

Everything investors, property owners and NRIs ask us.

Use ITR-2 when total income exceeds ₹50 lakhs, when you have capital gains beyond ₹1.25 lakh of LTCG u/s 112A, more than one house property, foreign assets or foreign income, a directorship, unlisted shares, or agricultural income above ₹5,000. ITR-1 is only for simple resident salaried cases.
Generally yes. From AY 2025-26, ITR-1 permits only LTCG u/s 112A up to ₹1.25 lakh with no losses to carry forward. Any short-term gains, gains above that limit, or a property sale requires ITR-2 — provided you have no business income.
Yes. NRIs and RNORs with salary, house property, capital gains or other-source income in India file ITR-2. Only if they also have business or professional income in India does ITR-3 apply. Non-residents cannot use ITR-1 at all.
Vesting is taxed as a salary perquisite; sale is taxed as capital gains. Ordinarily resident taxpayers must also disclose the shares in Schedule FA and can claim foreign tax credit by filing Form 67. Missing Schedule FA can attract heavy penalties under the Black Money Act.
No. F&O and intraday trading are treated as business income, which requires ITR-3. ITR-2 covers only investment activity — delivery-based shares, mutual funds and similar assets held as capital assets.
Gains from virtual digital assets go into Schedule VDA and are taxed at a flat 30% u/s 115BBH plus cess, with no deduction other than cost of acquisition and no set-off of losses. TDS deducted u/s 194S should reflect in your 26AS/AIS.
You can file a belated return up to 31 December of the assessment year with a late fee of up to ₹5,000 u/s 234F — but most losses (except house property loss) cannot be carried forward. Beyond that, an updated return (ITR-U) is possible for up to 48 months with additional tax.
