22 July 2024 Dear Sir,
Please guide that I have only Bank Interest Income (Rs.1 Lakh) + Short Term Capital Gain + Long Term Capital Gain of Delivery based trading ( Rs.2.15 LaKH) + Rs.3689/- Intraday Share Trading. Now for these small Rs.3689/- gain (speculative or business gain) will I have to file ITR 3 or filing ITR 2 with showing Rs.3689 in other income will do ? Because once I file in ITR 3 , I have to prepare Balance Sheet and P & L etc and I do not want to make for such a small amount and time is also less. so please guide what I should do ?
Thanking you
Regards

22 July 2024 Better to file ITR 3. No need to provide financial details. Just fill details in column 12(a) & 12(b) of trading account.

22 July 2024 Sir, you mean to say that only if I fill this details in 12(a) and 12(b) that will be sufficient and no other details like Capital, assets, P and L I have to show right sir?

23 July 2024 Though few details in that are required, but alternative is fill Column 65 in Schedule P&L and Column 6 of Schedule BS. No other details required.

23 July 2024 Sir, one more confusion. You mean to say that I can file in no account case. But my income from other sources and short term + Long Term Capital gain is added it crosses exemption limit of Rs.250000/-. In nut and shell , my FD interest income is Rs.100000/- + My Short term Capital gain from delivery based trading is Rs. 2,15,000/- + My long term capital gain from shares sold is Rs.24800/- + My intra day trading (total trades 5 only) is Rs.3689/- + Dividend Income is around Rs.4000/- so my income from speculative income is Rs.3689 only but other income addition crosses Rs. 2.5 Lakh. In this case , can I file no account case in old regime this year(as in old regime tax is coming zero due 87-A) and can change to new regime from next year. Please reply sir. Thanking you in advance. Kind Regards

23 July 2024 1. Yes, your business activity doesn't mandate books keeping as per sec. 44AA IT act.
2. As there is business activity, opting in and out of tax regime is restricted in your case, so decide the switch based on benefits. Yes, you can opt old regime this year by filing form 10IEA, and if you opt out old regime next year, then you will never ever be able to opt old regime again.
