Can Demat charges be treates as Short Term Capital Loss

Last financial year I only bought Shares and did not sell any.

Can I treat the demat charges as short term capital loss and carry it forward to the next year ?

The provisions of Capital Loss/gains is applicable only when there is a sale/transfer of capital asset. You cant do so because there is no sale. If you are a trader of shares, where you treat your shares as stock in trade, you can claim such losses.

No. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

no                                            

Only losses allowed under provisions of income tax act can be carried forward .

Demat charges are expenses and not Losses.

So you cannot carry forward it.
