SIRS, I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN HAVING A TRADING TERMINAL AT HOME. I HAVE UNFORTUNATELY RECEIVED CONFLICTING OPINION ON WHETHER I SHOULD GET MY SHARE TRADING ACCOUNTS AUDITED BY A CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT BEFORE FILING RETURN FOR CURRENT FY 2019-2020. I HAVE STOPPED THE SHARE TRADING BUSINESS WEF 30TH NOVEMBER 2019 AND THE DATA OF TURNOVER FROM 1-4-2019 TO 30-11-2019 IS SUMMARISED BELOW:
KINDLY CLARIFY IF I HAVE TO HAVE MY ACCOUNTS AUDITED OR NOT.:

ITR 3 HAS BEEN FILED FOR FY 2018-2019 AND CARRY FORWARD BUSINESS LOSS OF 1.5 LAKHS IS THERE. THE PROFIT OF 73000/- FOR FY 2019-2020 - HAS TO BE SET OFF AGAINST THE CARRY FORWARD LOSS OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR.
