I am salaried individual. Filing ITR2 for past several years. This is first year I have been involved in F&O trading (nifty index options trading). I have incurred a loss this year. Plan to carry forward this loss to next year. I understand I need to file ITR3. My F&O turnover is less than 2 Cr.
Can the experts advise if incurring an F&O loss and wanting to carry forward this F&O loss makes it mandatory to maintain books of accounts and get a tax audit done. There are conflicting opinions of experts on the internet. So clarification will help. Thanks.
