Quick Summary

If you've been trading shares from home and incurred losses, you might be wondering which Income Tax Return (ITR) form to file. Generally, if your only income source is share trading (intraday or positional) and you have some savings interest, ITR-2 is likely appropriate. However, if your trading activities are considered a business (e.g., a retail shop), you'll need to file ITR-3.

Based on information given,
You can file ITR 2 (if you have this loss, any salary income or any income from other sources..
but if you have any business income also along with this, than you have to file form ITR 3.

Bank account is not the criteria.
It's basically the nature of income.
In case you want to scale it up and your income is under a seperate co. it is seperate.

"engaged in retail trading" it's means share trading or you have other retail trading business (i.e retail shop)

If You have other retail Trading shop than its business income a required to file ITR 3.
otherwise you can use ITR 2
