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
Where to write short term loss ( share trading) in normal or PTI section in carry forward section??
An assessee has to include details of any pass-through income (PTI) from a business trust or an investment fund. If You received STCG from BT/IF than you are required to disclose that in PTI column.

But, As in your case your STCG is related to trading activity carried out by you (trading in share and securities), than you are required to disclose your STCG in Normal column of carry forward section.
