This discussion clarifies how to report Futures & Options (FnO) turnover and profit in your Income Tax Return (ITR). It explains that you should show the net profit or loss in your Profit & Loss (P&L) statement after deducting all expenses, including GST and STT. The turnover for tax audit purposes is calculated as the sum of all profits and losses. Realised profits are relevant for tax audit applicability, and F&O losses can be adjusted against short-term and long-term capital gains. For the balance sheet, you can include bank balances, investments from demat holdings, and capital assets.
I have little confusion for preparation of pnl ad b.sheet.
1) in pnl we have to mentioned in total Sell Value and total purchase Value ? Or we have yo shown directly profit or loss?? In some video opinion are different!!
2) Absolute Value of Realized profit only calculation for applicability of Tax Audit?? It is not effected in pnl right??
3) in b.sheet can we mentioned only bank balance, investment balance of only Value based on holding statements in demat account?? And capital assets ,if any?
