Hi, If this year I declare the FNO Loss by taking the audit route. Can I go for presumptive income next and offset the Loss ?
Hey @teenscm
Loss from F&O Trading can be set off against B&P income. Thus, if you carry forward F&O Loss, you can set-off the same against presumptive profits in future years.
However, it must be noted that once you opt-in for presumptive taxation and opt-out of it later, you cannot claim its benefit for the next 5 years. In the case of presumptive taxation, you cannot claim expenses and carry-forward loss.
Hope this helps!

Hope this helps!
I have incurred loss but my income is less than 2.5 lakhs. Is tax audit applicable?
Tax Audit is not applicable.
