Dear Friends, In F&O Transaction how to calculate turnover and how to account F&O transaction in books of accounts. If it comes under tax audit what amount as a turnover needs to specify in Ratio calculation part.

Turnover for F & O is total of profit+ total of loss (in positive value )+ sale value. Audit is compulsory if turnover is above 10 crores but you have to compulsorily declare 6% of turnover as profit.

All purchase and sales need to enter or profit and loss on sale of f&o only need to enter?

The turnover in case of F&O transaction to be computed as below: (i) The total of favourable and unfavourable differences (Profit/Loss) shall be taken as turnover. (ii) Premium received on options
For example you buys 100 units of Futures @ Rs 200 and sells at RS 210. Also buys 200 units of options @ Rs 300 and sells at Rs 290.
This is how his turnover would be determined:
Particulars Calculation Amount Profit on sale of Futures /100 * 10 / 1 Thousand Loss on sale of Options /200*10 / 2Thousand (negative ignored) Premium on sale of options /200*290 / 58Thousand Total Turnover 61Thousand
