no need for audit. audit will be required only if your net receivables and net losses combined exceed 1 crore. go through the following linc in Zerodha. everything is very well explained. http://zerodha.com/z-connect/traders-zone/taxation-for-traders/taxation-simplified

Audit would be required if:

• • Turnover for financial year is > ₹1 crore
  • If turnover < ₹1 crore and profitability is less than 8% of turnover (Section 44 AB)
  • Also note that if your total gross total income (trading +  Salary or other business) is lesser than Rs 2lks, you don’t need an audit even if your profit is less than 8% of your turnover or if turnover for the year is >  ₹1 crore

TURNOVER Calculation

Turnover is being calculated here just to determine if you need a tax audit or not. As per the guidance note from ICAI ( section 5.12, page 23).

• For Intraday equity — absolute sum of settlement profits and losses per scrip
• For Delivery equity — sell side value of the stock
• For F&O (Equity, Currency, Commodity) — absolute sum of settlement profits & losses for F&O) per scrip and the sell side value of option contracts

Tax Audit is not required if total income is less than basic exemption limit, turnover is less than INR 1 Cr and profit is less than 6% of turnover. However, the Income Tax Department has details of all trading transactions from multiple sources. On basis of such information, they send out tax notices to traders. Thus, it is advisable to report trading transactions in the ITR and go for tax audit in the case of losses.

Ok so you are saying whenever you have trading transactions - it is mandatory to file ITR i.e. report those transactions to IT?

@curiousvi, It is always a good practice to file your Income Tax Return, in case your income is less than the basic exemption limit you can file a Nil Return.

@Quicko

For FY 2018-19, the IT Department has started sending out emails under voluntary compliance scheme to the taxpayers who have done trading activity but not filed the Income Tax Return. The IT Department has started this campaign to provide an opportunity to taxpayers to validate the information and avoid tax notices.
If you have received such email, you need to login to your income tax e-filing account and validate the transactions on the e-compliance portal. If you validate such transactions, filing ITR is not mandatory.
