Short term capital gain - commodity trading

I am a salaried employee and do have some short term capital losses from commodity trading for FY12-13 as per my knowledge these losses wont lead to any tax rebate for AY13-14 and can only be set against gains from commodity trading in next 2-3 years.

My question is do I have to declare the losses in AY13-14 and fill ITR-2 or Can I do that in next year when I have some gains (hopefully).

Correct me if I am wrong in any of the above said tax rules.

 

Thanks in advance

1. Do I have to declare the losses in AY13-14 and fill ITR-2?

Reply: Yes.

2. Can I do that in next year when I have some gains?

It is not enough. You have to claim the capital loss carried forward from the AY 2013-14, for which the loss has to be validly disclosed in the return for the AY 2013-14.

Ajay that need to be mentioned in "CFL" - Carry Forward losses.
