Short term capital gain/loss - equity sale

I filed ITR2 in AY14-15 as there was a long term capital gain and similarly for AY15-16 filed ITR2  as there was a small gain on STCG. For AY15-16 there is a loss on equity sale. Please clarify, is it necessary to file ITR2 if I ignore and proceed with ITR1 as my source of income is pension + bank interest only. I don't want to declare the STCG loss and carry it for future.

thanks
