If you've incurred F&O losses and want to claim TDS refunds, it's crucial to report these correctly in your tax return. Losses from delivery-based F&O can be treated as business losses, while intraday losses are considered speculative. Although filing a Profit & Loss account and Balance Sheet is generally required, especially if audited, you cannot simply omit F&O losses to claim refunds on other income. Even with a delayed filing, accurate reporting is essential to avoid potential IT notices. Consider presumptive profit if you wish to avoid an audit, though an audit is advisable.

You can report turnover of FNO and offer presumptive profit in case you dont want to get the accounts audited.
Thought getting an Audit done is advisable.
