About this tool

ITR-2 Applicability Checker

Check whether capital gains, multiple properties or foreign assets push you to ITR-2.

ITR-2 Applicability Checker tests your year against the things that push an individual or HUF out of the Sahaj form: capital gains, two or more house properties, foreign assets or income, NRI and RNOR status, total income above Rs 50 lakh, unlisted shares, directorships and carried-forward losses. It lists every trigger it finds and confirms whether ITR-2 is your form, or whether business income means ITR-3 or ITR-4 Sugam instead. Useful the moment you have sold property or shares and are unsure which return to open.

Why use ITR-2 Applicability Checker

• Trigger-by-trigger reasoning

  Each answer that moves you to ITR-2 is listed with the schedule behind it, so nothing is a black box.

• Handles the 112A carve-out

  Small listed long-term gains up to Rs 1.25 lakh can stay in ITR-1 from AY 2025-26, and the checker applies that rule instead of over-flagging.

• Covers ITR-3 and ITR-4 too

  Business or professional income takes you out of ITR-2 entirely, and the tool says so rather than giving a wrong answer.

Common use cases

• You sold a flat or redeemed debt mutual funds this year and want to know if ITR-2 is now mandatory.
• You moved abroad mid-year and became an NRI or RNOR, changing the form you can file.
• You hold ESOPs in unlisted shares or a foreign brokerage account and need to know which schedules apply.
