  • one thing you should kept in mind that taxation is very deep. one can not explain every thing in writing/here.
  • i suggest you for filing of return consult your CA. CA can help you in many manner.
  • as of now, as i think, you can able to adjust your STCG against your Optons loss. f&o is treated as business income/losses, not speculative income/losses.
    Thanks
