if this is the only income then you need not file your return at all. As Basic Exemption starts from Rs.180,000/-

Dear Dhawal Munot i think you should read Income tax at least one more time.
as per your advice if he dont file return he couldnt claim loss in commodity loss.
Dear Sudarshan if u want to claim loss in commodity trade in subsequent years then you should file return before 31st of july 2012.
No tax has to pay in current year.
Next year loss from commodity can be setoff from the profit from commodity trading.
As your income will be taxed under the head Business & Prof. as proprietary so you should file ITR 4.

@ Dhawal Mohnot, Can you plz copy and paste that part of that guidline ?
and for you kind information, IT department even accept return for Loss, coz this will be the proof of His/Her loss return and he can claim Losses in upcoming years..
and one more thing, Inspire them to submit return even if it is of loss, coz it shows the statatics (data) of our Indian Govt. which is having value when India participate in World level meetings.
and like to say, download that excel utility and fill up with loss income, it will get uploaded for sure :)

Dear Gaurav Choradia and VKbothra
I would like to say that
There are some Stupid, Thick head and stubborn peoples who speak or argue without any knowledge. Neither they accept their mistake nor they try to learn from their mistake. Just Don't bother about them.
Time will make them pay.
Coming to the query
Dear Sudarshan Ji
if you want to carry forward your loss just go by the view of brother Gaurav Choradia.
Also you cannot use ITR 2 you will have to use ITR 4 to file your return.
Any further doubt if arises please ask definitely.
Regards.
Note: - the following info. is to help those who lack basic knowledge of Income Tax Act.
For Loss Return assessee needs to keep in mind Section 139(3) read with section 80 of income tax act.
Sec.139(3) - If a person has sustained loss under the head "Profit and Gains of business or profession" or under the head "Capital Gains" and claims that such loss should be carried forward under section 72 or sec.73 or sec.74 or sec.74A, then he may furnish a return of loss within the time prescribed under section 139(1) and all provisions of Income tax Act shall apply as if it were a return furnished under section 139(1).
Sec. 80 - Notwithstanding anything contained in Chapter VI, the loss which has not been determined in pursuance of a return filed in accordance with the provisions of section 139(3), shall not be allowed to be carried forward and set off under section 72 or section 73 or section 74 or section 74A.

Mr.Sudharshan... had you mentioned Point A & B earlier would have definitely requested you to file the return. The reason why i commented not to file was becasue just showing a carry forward loss of Rs.4,500/- would involve unnecessary paper work and complaince.
To all those who have commented on top (Without any mention of names) just understand the bonafide of a person before abusing and corrugating anyone. Always maintain dignity and spirit of our profession. We all are learning.

Dear Sudarshan
ITR 2 is for Individuals and HUFs not having Income from Business or Profession.
in your case you have loss on commodity trading and Intraday Trading Profit which is taxable under the head income from Business or Profession. Therefore you will have to file your return in ITR 4

Mr. Dhawal ,
You are totally going through line by line as per LAW.
But u are not able to understand the views of people who have so much of practical exposure in this field.
So its better not to argue or show ur attitude ....
You should Clear your knowledge first then come into discussion part.
As far as the question is concerned , In order to carry forward the loss , the assessee has to file the loss Return under section 139 (4) .

Dear Mahesh Garg, Please help me with advice. I am following CASH method of acctng all along. I am an Actor in TV Serial. I received a cheque d/d 26 April 2012(credited in my bank a/c on 30 April 2012) for my work done in March 2012. But this has been shown in Form 16 A for a/y 2012-13 as "paid/credited"on 31 March 2012. "Date on which Tax(TDS) deposited is shown as26/05/2012. Status of booking is "matched". These are reflected in the same way in Form 26AS also for a/y 2012-13. My queries are:--- (1)Should I mandatorily show this as income in my IT Return of a/y 2012-13 because it is shown in Form16A and Form 26AS in a/y 2012-13(even though I have physically received it in a/y 2013-14) ? (2) If I should show this in a/y2013-14(as I am follwing CASH method of acctng),can I claim this TDS credit in my IT Return for a/y 2013-14 even though it is shown in form 16A and Form 26 AS in a/y 2012-13? PLease treat it as urgent as I have to file my Return by 31 july 2012. I cant postpone it as I have carry-forward losses to be booked and I dont come under compulsory audit. DATTATREYA H G
