souz asked, Is profit from sale of shares to be included while filing returns? What if there is also a loss from sale of shares?
Naveen Chopra answers, Profit from sale of shares can either be short term or long term. If the profit is short term it is taxable and hence the same should be included while filing returns. Same is the case with the loss, as the same would be either adjusted against current years profit or carried forward to next year. As far as Long term profit is concerned, although the same is exempt from tax, it is advisable to dicslose the same under Exempt Income category. As regards loss, if the net result after adjustment is loss, you can ignore the same as it cannot be carried forward.
