Hello,
I am salaried person and having a yearly income of 30lacs. I had long term capital gains of 2 lacs from equity stocks along with short term capital gains from debt funds. I also got dividend from stock.
I am confused b/w ITR1 and ITR2 as both mention the capital gains as eligibility. 
Could you please suggest which ITR I have to submit.

You have answered your own question in the screenshots you have posted.
Obviously, you have to file using ITR-2, since your LTCG exceeds 1.25 Lakh + you have STCG as well.
The main trigger for switching from ITR-1 to ITR-2 is capital gains. If you sold shares, mutual funds, property, or any capital asset during FY 2025-26, you need ITR-2. Also use ITR-2 if you have more than one house property, income from foreign sources, a directorship, or total income above Rs. 50 lakh. ITR-1 (Sahaj) is for residents with salary, one house property, and other sources like FD interest, all under Rs. 50 lakh.
