Capital Gains ITR Filing: Shares, Mutual Funds, Crypto & Property

6 min read · finshark knowledge centre

a capital gain arises when you sell a capital asset — listed shares, mutual funds, crypto, gold or property — for more than its cost. how it's taxed depends on the asset and how long you held it.

Short-term vs Long-term

the holding period decides the category. for listed equity and equity mutual funds, more than 12 months is long-term; for property and unlisted assets, more than 24 months. short-term and long-term gains are taxed differently.

Which ITR Form

• salaried with capital gains → itr-2;
• capital gains plus business or professional income → itr-3;
• crypto / virtual digital assets are reported in schedule vda and taxed at a flat 30%.

What We Need to File

• broker / mutual-fund capital-gains (tax p&l) statement;

• crypto transaction statement;
• details of any exemptions claimed (e.g. reinvestment under sections 54 / 54f).
