Significant Adjustments In ITR-2 For The Fiscal Year 2022-23.

Schedule of Foreign Assets (FA):

The word 'accounting period' has been substituted with 'calendar year ending on December 31, 2021'. It implies that the taxpayer must provide information on any overseas assets owned between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021. This adjustment will make it easier for taxpayers to register their overseas assets throughout the reporting period.

Schedule of capital gains (Schedule CG):

Fair Market Value (FMV) disclosure of capital assets and payment received in a slump sale deal

A year-by-year breakdown of land/building improvement costs

Separate disclosure of purchase cost and indexed acquisition cost

Schedule of other sources (OS):

1. Reporting of taxable interest earned on the provident fund
2. Section 2(22)(e) requires separate disclosure of considered dividend income.

To determine residence status, the taxpayer must select among descriptions relevant to several sections of the Income Tax Act.

A new 'Schedule Tax Deferred on ESOP' section has been added: Details about employee stock options (ESOPs) received from qualifying start-ups are necessary to track the amount of tax-deferred and the year it should be taxed.
