Long term / Short term capital gains tax and relevant ITR

Sir,

My income is below 50 L. I have done few transactions of shares (both long term (above 12 m) and short term.  Long term resulted in a profit of around Rs.1000/- where as short term resulted in loss of approximately Rs.500/-. As per clause 112A upto Rs. 1 L profit no capital gains tax is applicable.  Am I correct in my understanding.  Do I need to file ITR 2 and show the capital gains /loss both long term and short term, Or I can file ITR 1 as I have been doing all along?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax implications of long-term and short-term capital gains from share transactions. Even with income below £50 lakh and profits within the £1 lakh exemption, individuals must file ITR 2 if they've traded shares. The query also addresses whether to report individual transactions or cumulative data in the ITR, with the consensus leaning towards ITR 2 for declaring all share dealings.

You need to file ITR 2 & declare all these transactions........

sale of shares and securities, you need to file ITR-2, even if your total income is below ₹50 lakh.

To add to the original query, do we need to add each transaction as mentioned in the AIS report, or can we add cumulative data? For example, if I purchased and sold "A" shares on different dates and did the same with B, C, and D shares, can I add all buys and sells, respectively, for A, B, and C and enter the data in the ITR?

If I enter the cumulative data, it seems like I bought and sold shares worth lakhs. Whereas on a particular date, I would have spent or bought shares worth only thousands.
