Intraday share trading itr2 or 3

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

If you've engaged in daily intraday share trading, even for a short period, and are a salaried individual, you'll need to determine the correct Income Tax Return (ITR) form. While ITR 4 is often recommended for business income, you can opt for ITR 3 if you don't want to declare under Section 44AD. ITR 2 is generally not advised for speculative income, as it may lead to queries from the Income Tax Department.

29 December 2021 If you do not wish to declare business income under sec. 44AD, then file ITR 3.
ITR 2 is not suggested now a days, as the speculative income may have been reported under AIS, while PGBP income cannot be declared in ITR2. Still if you like you may declare it in ITR2, under IFOS, but chance of query being raised by ITD cannot be denied.
