Dear sir / madam,
I have only income from derivatives segment, option segment. As per income tax act income from derivatives segment is a business income.

### Reporting Income from Derivatives in ITR-4
If you have income from trading in derivatives or options, this is treated as **business income** under the Income Tax Act. Here's how you should report it in the Income Tax Return (ITR-4):
#### **1. Classification of Income:**
- **Nature of Income:**
- Income from derivatives trading is classified as **business income** rather than capital gains.
#### **2. Reporting in ITR-4:**
- **Profit and Loss Schedule:**
- You need to report this income in the **Profit and Loss Account** section of ITR-4. It should be shown as **income from business**.
- The profit and loss schedule in ITR-4 allows you to enter details related to business income, including derivatives trading.
#### **3. How to Report:**
- **Schedule BP (Business or Profession):**
- Go to **Schedule BP (Business or Profession)** in ITR-4.
- **Part A: P&L Account**:
- In the **Profit and Loss Account** section, you will enter the total income from derivatives trading under the appropriate column for business income.
- This should be shown under **"Other Receipts"** or a similar heading, as this income does not fall under sales or direct receipts.
#### **4. Reporting Expenses:**
- **Deducting Expenses:**
- You can claim expenses incurred in earning the income, such as **STT (Securities Transaction Tax)**, **telephone bills**, **internet expenses**, and **miscellaneous expenses**.
- These expenses should be shown in the **"Expenses"** section of the Profit and Loss Account.
- **Netting Off Expenses:**
- You should **not net off expenses** directly from the income in the profit and loss account. Instead, you need to show the total income and total expenses separately.
- The net profit will be automatically calculated by the ITR form based on the income and expenses you enter.
#### **5. Specific Columns to Fill:**
- **Income:**
- Under **Schedule BP**, in the **"Profit and Loss Account"** section, enter the total income from derivatives trading.
- **Expenses:**
- In the same **Schedule BP**, list all expenses related to the business. Ensure that all expenses directly associated with earning the income are properly accounted for.
#### **Example Entry:**
- **Income from Derivatives Trading:**
- Report the total income from derivatives trading as **Other Receipts** or similar in the Profit and Loss section.
- **Expenses:**
- Deduct expenses like STT, telephone charges, and other relevant expenses under the **Expenses** section of the Profit and Loss Account.
#### **6. Filing and Documentation:**
- **Maintain Records:**
- Keep detailed records of all transactions, including trading statements, expense receipts, and any other documents supporting your income and expenses.
- **Consult a Professional:**
- Given the complexity of tax regulations related to derivatives and business income, consulting a tax professional or accountant is advisable to ensure compliance and accuracy.
### **Conclusion:**
In summary, report your derivatives trading income as business income in **ITR-4**, using the Profit and Loss Account section of **Schedule BP**. Show the income under the appropriate business income heading and list expenses separately. Maintain detailed records and consider consulting with a tax professional for specific advice.
