I have the following income during the financial year April 2011 - March 2012:
1. Income from Salary 2. Income from other sources ( Bank Inerest) 3. Long Term Capital Loss on Sale of Equity Shares & Units of Equity Mutual Fund Schemes on which Security Transaction Tax has been paid. ( The Loss is about Rs 6000/-.) 4. Tax Exempt Interest of about Rs 1,50,000/- on Public Provident Fund (PPF)
Please advise which ITR Form should i use to file my return.

Sir, can I not use ITR-1(Sahaj) since the Long Term Capital Loss cannot be set off or carried forward and PPF interest is exempt from tax? Kindly advise.

Even though exempted income or non-carry forward loss you should be indicate in the return form in ITR-1(Sahaj) there is no option to Exempted income schedule and no schedule for Capital gains. so ITR-1(Sahaj) not proper.

Sirs, Will I have to mention (-)6,000/- in the column for "Long-term capital gains from transaction on which Security Transaction Tax is paid"? This column is in Schedule EI (Details of Exempt Income) in ITR-2. Can I put a negative amount in this column?
Is there any other column also in ITR-2 where this "non-carry forward" long term loss is to be mentioned?
