To carry forward the losses (incurred in 2011-12) you have to file the return before 31st july 2012.

and to do tht u just need to put in your losses under Income from Capital Gain in negative (-)

classify the loss into long term and short term

for tat.. consider the purchase date and sale date..if the period of holding is more than 1 year.. then loss or gain ( remember you have to provide all your transaction details not just that of your loss transactions) is Long term Capital Gain (in your case Long term Capital Loss) else shortterm Capital Loss

Dear Muthu, you do not need to submit your return in ITR-4. As you are a salaried employee you can submit your return in ITR-1 (Sahaj) which is very easy to fill. You can download the form income tax departmental site. Log on to www.incometaxindia.gov.in after that go through the following link ..... 1)click on next button 2)Download 3)Income tax return 4) click on english version of SAHAJ link.
