Fixed : Error Icon Please Ensure the Total of Deduction U/S 54f Must Match the Same in Table D

If you’re getting the error “Please ensure the total of Deduction u/s 54F must match the same in Table D” when filing ITR, Verify Schedule CG → Table D Entry.

Here’s what it means and how to fix it:

🔍 What the Error Means

• Section 54F allows you a deduction for long‑term capital gains (LTCG) if you’ve invested those gains into a new residential house.

• Table D (in Schedule CG of your ITR) is where deductions (like under Section 54F) are specified.

• The error means that the amount you’ve entered for the deduction under 54F in the main schedule somewhere must match exactly with what you have entered in Table D. If they do not match, the system will throw this validation error.

✅ How to Fix It

Here are steps people have used that usually work:

1. Verify Schedule CG → Table D Entry

   • Go to the Capital Gains schedule (Schedule CG).

   • Under Deduction under Section 54F, make sure you’ve filled in the details in Table D correctly (date of purchase, cost of house, etc.) and the amount of deduction.

2. Check the Same Amount Everywhere

   • Whatever amount you claim under Section 54F (in the main deduction field) must be exactly the same as in Table D. If there’s a difference (even by a Rupee or two, or due to rounding), the portal will reject with that error.

3. Fill All Needed Fields

   • If the portal has subtasks like “Click Add another / Specifiy details in item D below” etc., ensure those are properly filled. Sometimes the details in item D are missing or left blank, which causes the mismatch.

4. Check for Auto‑Population Issues

   • Some sections or fields auto‑populate. If auto‑populated value is incorrect (or zero), it creates mismatch. You might have to edit them manually to match Table D.

5. Use Correct ITR Form Version / Utility

   • Ensure you are using the latest version of the ITR offline/JSON utility (if using offline mode) or the latest schema in case you are using the portal. Sometimes older versions have bugs with validation.

6. Browser / Clear Cache / Retry

   • If everything looks correct and the error still appears, try clearing browser cache or switching browser. Sometimes UI‑bugs cause the error to display even when entries are correct.
