23 March 2009 For margin trading (share which are purchased during the day and sold same day) - only profit /loss will be treated as turnover.

For share purchased today and sold tomorrow - the sales price will be treated as turnover.

If you will apply above method, I don't think there is a need for Tax Audit.

On the same time, tax audit returns last date was 30.09.2008, now you will incur huge penalties.
