22 July 2025 Dear Experts
I only have short term capital loss for FY 24/25 from sale of equities and no short term or long term capital gain. When I fill in the details under STCG section 111A the ITR2 calculates the loss properly and also registers it in the carry forward loss page but when I try to validate the return for final submission it gives an error saying STCG value is less than zero. ( 2c. Balance (2a-biv) input can not be less than zero) . Since I only have short term capital loss from equity value is bound to be less than zero!! how do I enter this loss so that the return validates. Thanks for all the help in advance.
Neel

23 July 2025 Sir I am filing ITR2 online - there is no "compute set off tab" that I can see.(I presume it computes set off automatically although there is no income against which this loss can be set off) Schedule CFL is accurately showing current years loss and one previous years loss that needs to be carried forward. Thanks
