Regarding where to file ITR-2 with only interest income and short-term loss:
ITR filing location is determined by your PAN-based Income Tax Ward jurisdiction. You can check your ward online here: Income Tax Jurisdiction Check
Once you know your ward, you file the physical return (if you are filing manually) at the corresponding ward office. For e-filing, the location is less relevant as it's all online.
About salary returns filing at Bandra:
In many cities including Mumbai, salary returns are often processed centrally at offices like Bandra.
However, for manual filing, it is advisable to verify your jurisdiction first, because even salary returns may have to be filed at the ward where you reside or where your PAN is assigned.
Summary:
Check your PAN jurisdiction for the exact ward (Bandra or Vashi or any other).
File the return accordingly (manual or electronic).
For salary income, generally Bandra is common, but confirm based on your PAN.
