12 August 2015 1. Turnover is the absolute value of profit and loss of F&O transactions.

2. If such amount > 1 crore or the end result ( profit- loss) 8%, 44AD can be opted.

4. In either case the income is normal business income and not speculative income or capital gains.

Clause 2 may be read as follows:-

2. If such amount > 1 crore or the end result (profit - loss) < 8% 44AB audit is required.

Clause 3 some how disappeared which may be seen as under.

3, If turn over as in 1 above < 1 crore and profit as said in 2 above < or = 8% , 44 AD can be opted.
