I have 1,20,000 gain before 23/7

And

-20,000 loss after 23/7 because of loss booking

My net gain is 80,000 STCG

But in F column how should I should in quarter wise

1 lakh profit in Frist quarter and 10k loss each in last 2 quarter I have

I entered as same but it doesn't accepting negetive value in any quarters

How should I show it in each quarter?

If I show 80,000 in first quarter than it will be wrong as it's 1 lakh and tax should calculate accordingly otherwise IT may raise scrutiny..

Anu experienced same while filing ITR please reply

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses a common issue when filing tax returns, specifically regarding the reporting of Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG) in Schedule CG. The user had a gain before a certain date and a loss afterwards, resulting in a net STCG. They were unsure how to report this quarterly, especially when the system didn't accept negative values for losses in specific quarters. The advice given was that the net gain is what matters for tax liability and interest calculation, and reporting the net amount in the relevant quarter is acceptable, avoiding potential scrutiny.
