Requirement of Tax Audit to carry forward losses under F&O
This query is : Resolved
21 April 2024
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.

Colleagues. Seek reconfirmation.
Income Tax provisions say: Trading Turnover upto Rs. 2 Cr: Tax audit is applicable if the profit or loss from F&O trading is less than 6% of the turnover, and you have opted out of presumptive taxation in any of the last 5 years, with total income exceeding the basic exemption limit.
In my case, this is my first year of loss under F&O. Therefore I could not have made any selection under 6% presumptive taxation scheme in past years. My current year F&O turnover is Rs. 32 lacs (absolute gain / loss). Even if premiums collected is included, turnover remains at Rs. 85 lacs (absolute gain / loss plus premiums collected). Income under other heads of income is greater than Rs. 2.5 lacs.
Given the above, is Tax Audit mandatory for me.

as we discussed earlier, tax audit would not be applicable in your case.
