To report Gold/Silver ETF short-term capital gains in ITR-3, navigate to Schedule CG. If the units fall under the strict Section 50AA mandate (purchased between April 2023 and March 2025), enter the transaction particulars under the "Section 50AA / Specified Mutual Funds" line item. For newer short-term holdings, enter them under the general STCG section for other assets (not covered u/s 111A). Both approaches route the net gain to be taxed at your standard income slab rates.
