Set Off FNO Loss

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

You can indeed set off your Futures & Options (F&O) losses against short-term capital gains from selling equity shares in the same financial year. To claim this, you'll need to declare your F&O loss under the business income (PGBP) head. The recommended Income Tax Return (ITR) form for this scenario is ITR 3.

07 August 2024 Yes, Non-speculative losses, like those from F&O trades, can be offset against any other income head except salary income in the same financial year. This includes capital gains from stocks and mutual funds. So, you can set off your trading loss with the capital gains on stocks and mutual funds.
File ITR 3. Declare the F&O loss under business i.e. PGBP head.
