This discussion addresses an issue with filing F&O losses in ITR 3, specifically when the 'No Account Cases' section doesn't accept negative figures. While the assessee isn't liable to maintain books of accounts due to low turnover and profit, declaring F&O losses requires specific handling. The solution involves entering F&O transaction details in Schedule PL, Part A of the P&L Account, even if book maintenance isn't otherwise mandatory.

You cannot book loss under 'No account case.' If you want to declare loss from F&O, file it with accounts details. Moreover, now you cannot carry forward losses, under belated return.
