Instructions to Form ITR-3 (A.Y 2020-21)

capital gains (long-term and short-term) into different baskets according to rate at which

- The applicable rate implies the rate of tax at which the normal income of the
assessee is otherwise taxable.
The DTAA rate refers to the special rate at which the short-term capital gains or

The figures in column 1 list out the categories of capital gains against which
capital losses of the current year can be set off. Similarly figures in row ‘i' provides for
different categories of capital losses of the current year which can be set off against
capital gains in column 1. The figures in row ‘i’ and column ‘1’ are derived from addition
of figures computed at relevant items of Schedule CG as indicated. Thus,
(A3e*+A4a*+A8a*) is addition of short-term capital gains reported at items Nos. A3e,
A4a and A8a as reduced by the amount of short-term capital gains not chargeable to
tax or chargeable to tax at DTAA rates which is included therein. Further, if (A3e* +

row ‘i’ with any category of capital gains in column ‘1’ except that the long-term capital
