When Schedule AL is needed in ITR-2
Updated . Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.
Facts
Schedule AL is required when total income exceeds ₹1 crore. Below that, it is not needed. A large one time capital gain can push income over ₹1 crore for that year.
Provisions and law
- Sec 139(1) (now Sec 263(1))Return must be filed by the due date for the year
Analysis
If your salary is ₹40 lakh and the property gain is ₹70 lakh, total income is ₹1.1 crore, so Schedule AL applies even though it is a one off year. You report land, building, deposits, shares, loans and other assets at cost. Keep the values consistent with next year's figures. The threshold was raised to ₹1 crore from AY 2025-26; check it again in the live utility.
Conclusion
- Compute total income including capital gains.
- If above ₹1 crore, list assets and liabilities at cost.
- Use purchase documents for values.
- Save the working for future years.
