Short term Capital gain/loss in ITR2

ITR 1188 views 1 replies

Hello All,  I m a salaried person and have some investments in equity too. To file my return for AY 2010-11, I m planning to show some short term capital gains and losses I made last year. I have a few stock options and as there was a bous I have booked a loss based on the pre-bonus FMV. I want to set-off the short term capital gains from equity and carry forward to remaining losses for future. I have the following questions:

Do I need to show detailed calculation in my ITR or I just need to work out and put the final figures? While computing gain/loss do I factor in the brokerage and STT paid too?

I read somewhere that if I want to carry forward the losses I need to file a loss return u/s 139(3). How do I do it and is it really required?


Thanks in advance for the valuable inputs.

1) U need to file ITR I suppose

2) U need to fill only those columns/Rows which are there in the ITR & no additional details are to be filed

3) yes u need to take the final amount(selling price) after deducting the amount of STT and also the amount of Brokerage.

4) Loss return means that u need to file a return claiming the loss & the same is to be filed before due date.

5) I hope u are cleared about rules of Set-off.
