Will i need tax audit for my FnO transaction?

Taxation

I read that tax audit is required if turnover is more than 1 cr, but it may also be required if you need to carry forward losses.

Below is my zerodha stmt 2016 -2017
Total turnover 677816.25

my total turnover FnO is less than 1 cr, do i need to do tax audit ? If i even do wil i be able to carry forward my losses ?
Please advice ?

If your total income is less than 2.5lks ( trading losses + all other income), you would not need an audit. But otherwise yeah, since your profit is less than 8% of turnover. And yes you can carry forward your losses if returns filed in time.

Hi Nitin,

Thanks for your reply.

Just one more query, for FY 2016-2017 I had filed ITR but i did not do tax audit. My FnO transaction profit is less than 8% of turnover so i would require audit.

Can i do tax audit now with revised ITR ? what will be the last date of filing revised ITR with tax audit for FY 2016-2017?

Thanks
Sidhesh

You can revise the return with Audit within one year of filing of original return.

You need to also calculate income from other sources as well…If total income is less than 2.5 lakh you don’t need audit .

Just with above information since your profit is less than 8% of turnover. You require audit .
