Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies which Income Tax Return (ITR) to use when you have income from share trading. For only short-term and long-term capital gains from share trading (excluding options), ITR-2 is generally appropriate. However, if your income includes intraday trading, which is considered speculative business income, you will need to file using ITR-3.

ITR-2 for only short / long term trading in shares.

ITR-3 for speculative business due to intraday income.

ITR-2
Income Tax Dept has given option to tax payer to consider it either under capital gains or business income.

So you can use ITR-2 , ITR-3/4..

Generally ITR-2 is applicable but if intraday is then you have to use ITR-3
