Hi,
I am full time emploee working out of India for the AY 2017 - 2018. I had some of my stocks that I sold during this assessment year. 17-18. The profit is negligible with less than 20K.I don’t have any other income. I don’t have Form 16.
I am getting mail from other It to file tax returns. Do I need to file returns? Hopefully no audit required.
