FNO Turnover

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies how to calculate Financial and Options (FNO) turnover, specifically for Nifty trades. It highlights that calculating turnover on a trade-by-trade basis is generally considered the most compliant method. While Zerodha offers trade-wise calculations, other brokers may provide script-wise data, which can also be used for taxation purposes, albeit with a more involved process.

15 June 2021 FNO Turnover calculation

Nifty MAY Bought Sold P/L : 25k P
Nifty MAY Sold Bought P/L : 10k L

Nifty MAY Contract Net P/L: 15k P

Nifty JUN Bought Sold P/L : 15k L
Nifty JUN Sold Bought P/L : 5k P

Nifty JUN Contract Net P/L: 10k L

So the Contractwise Turnover:
May 15k
Jun 10k
--------------
Total: 25k
--------------

OR

a Trade wise

25k 10k 15k 50k
-----
55k
-----

Which one is correct?

Thank you.

15 June 2021 As stated that at present only zerodha is providing trade wise other brokers are providing scrip wise, can one calculate scrip wise also for taxation purpose?
