Present scenario is........
When a person does F&O transaction, and if his turnover (calculation as explained earlier), exceeds 25 lakhs rupees......... he is required to maintain books of accounts (sec. 44AA). So, till that frequency/transaction/volume..... he can declare his income/loss without books or audit. (marginal gains may be under IFOS, when say salary income is main source of income)
But once the limit crossed, he has two options.... either declare 6% profit (u/s.44AD) & forget books/audit.... file ITR4.......
But if profit margin less than 6% or loss........... check his total income....
- if below max. chargeable to tax..... again no audit, but only books.......
- But if above the limit (2.50L/ 3.0L/ 5.0L) file tax audit report....
