2. How much % of Education Cess I have to pay on Rs.13,730.50, is it 2% or 3% for the FY 2016-17, AY 2017-18 or is it GST that I have to add in place of Cess, if it is GST, kindly advise how.

3. I have a carry forward loss of Rs.118, 414.75, I am filing ITR-2, under which column should I put the carry forward loss.
