Income tax return for F&O and intraday traders

Trading ka hisaab alag hota hai.

  • You trade futures and options
  • You do intraday equity
  • You also have salary or other income

What is included

  • F&O treated as non-speculative business income, intraday as speculative, they are taxed differently
  • Turnover computed the way the department computes it, not absolute profit
  • Whether an audit is triggered, told to you before it becomes urgent
  • Losses carried forward correctly so they are usable next year
  • ITR-3 filed and verified

Questions people actually ask

Loss hua hai, phir bhi bharna padega?

Haan, aur time pe. Loss carry forward tabhi hoga jab due date se pehle file karo. Warna wo loss khatam.

When does an audit apply?

It depends on turnover as the department defines it, and whether you have opted out of presumptive taxation before. We check both and tell you upfront.

Tool free hai. Ye paid hai. Dono theek hain.

If you would rather file it yourself, the tool is free and always will be.
