This discussion addresses whether an individual with salary, FDR interest, and a small short-term capital gain from stocks (including a minor loss from a single intraday trade) should file ITR-1 or ITR-2. While ITR-2 is deemed acceptable due to the capital gains, filing ITR-3 is theoretically advisable. The consensus is that filing ITR-2 should not cause future issues with the IT department given the small transaction size and the incurred loss.
FY 2021-22 & FY 2022-23 I have filed ITR-1 income from Salary and Interest from FDR. FY 2023-24 i have income from Salary and Interest from FDR and some short term Capital Gain Rs.3024/- from Stocks ( Stocks through delivery ) and Mutual fund I have never done Intraday and never done f&N but by i have done One Single Transaction through Intraday. Purchase Price Rs.546/- Sale Rs.520/- Loss Rs.26/- only one Single Transaction During FY 2023-24. So can i go for ITR-2 Please suggest
