Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies where to report short-term losses from share trading for carry-forward purposes. Unlike pass-through income (PTI) from business trusts or investment funds, losses from your own share trading activities, including intraday trading, are considered speculative. Therefore, these losses must be declared in the 'Normal' column of the carry-forward section, not the PTI section. They can only be set off against profits from speculative business.

Loss from share trading (Intraday) is speculative and the same cannot be set-off against the income under any other heads. it has to be set-off against the profit from speculative business only
