ITR3 - Balance Sheet

This query is : Resolved

11 June 2024 I made 2L profit in Options trading in FY23-24, but stopped trading since I moved from Bangalore to London.

In last year's ITR I had put 20L in Balance Sheet (broker balance + bank balance).

I am wondering what to put in this year's balance sheet, since I have stopped trading and moved money to London.

11 June 2024 You need to file return for the profits earned in option trading.
If you have closed the broker account with nil balance, no need to report the broker's account.

11 June 2024 Thank you for responding.

Yes, I'm planning to put 2L as "Other operating revenues" in "Schedule Trading Account", to show as profit.

How about the Balance Sheet section of ITR?
It says "balance sheet as on 31st day of march, 2024 or as on the date of closure of business as applicable of the proprietory business or profession"

My broker + bank balance by end of:
- March 2023: 20L (20L is what I used in ITR for FY 22-23)
- May 2023: 17L (moved 5L to London)
- June 2023: 10L (moved 7L to London)
- July 2023 onwards: 1L (moved 9L to London)

I've been slowly moving my money from broker to London.
If I consider end of July as business closure, then does it mean I put in 1L in balance sheet section?

Wont it be confusing since I put 20L in balance sheet last year ITR, and have 2L of profit for this year ITR, but only 1L in balance sheet in this year's ITR?

11 June 2024 No. it will not be confusing. Moreover you can get your account statement from the broker, which will substantiate the balance of 1 lakh to your credit.
