CBDT Issues Corrigendum to Form ITR-2, Corrects Errors in Schedules and Form Entries [Read Notification]

The Central Board of Direct Taxes has issued a corrigendum to the recently notified Form ITR-2, making a series of corrections to the form and its schedules. The corrigendum was released on 10 April 2026 and refers to the earlier notification dated 30 March 2026 which had introduced the new ITR-2 form for Assessment Year 2026-27.

The move is aimed at fixing technical and clerical errors so that taxpayers can file returns without confusion. The corrections mainly deal with wrong references, incorrect labels, and formatting issues across different parts of the form.

According to the corrigendum, several changes have been made in key schedules, especially those dealing with capital gains and other income. Some of the important corrections include:

• Wrong row references corrected, such as “6c–6d” changed to “5c–5d”
• Heading reference corrected from “B12a” to “B11a”
• Removal of column (1b) from:
• Schedule 112A
• Schedule 115AD
• Typographical errors corrected, such as:
• “dxx” changed to “dxxi”
• “2xv” changed to “2xiv”
• Letter “w” replaced with “v” in Part B-TI

The CBDT has also made formatting changes to improve the usability of the form. Grey shading in blank cells has been removed in certain tables, including parts of the Capital Gains schedule and the Schedule for income from other sources. This is expected to make the form clearer and easier to fill.

Although these corrections do not change tax liability or rules, they are important from a compliance point of view. Even small errors in form structure can lead to mistakes while filing returns or during processing by the department.

The corrigendum will apply immediately. Taxpayers who are required to file ITR-2 for Assessment Year 2026-27 should ensure that they use the updated and corrected version of the form while filing their returns.
