Filing a return for a year of little income

Dear Experts,

Very soon, the financial year is closing and we need to start preparing for filing our returns.

In my case, this year I have income only from bank interests as I am on a career break. So my total income would be far below the exempted limits required for filing a return.

But I have a few years of short-term stock-market losses which I intend to carry forward. Most probably my short-term gains would be negative this year too , unless there is a miracle in the market!!!

So I believe that it would be still prudent to file a return for AY 2014-15 too to carry forword my losses. Please clarify.

If there are any online guidelines, manuals for guidance for the latest tax-filing, please let me know.

 

Regards,

Harsha
