Audit u/s 44AB and set off of losses

Last year I had FnO Loss and to carry forward the same, I got my accounts audited. This year I have a FnO profit and a turnover below 5Cr. I have 2 queries here:

1. Can I set off my last year's loss without getting my accounts audited (as turnover this year is below 5 Cr and a profit)

2. Can I take advantage of section 44AD and declare 6% / 8% of the profit and then adjust the normal loss declared last year.

Pls reply

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses queries regarding setting off previous year's Futures & Options (FnO) losses against current year's profits when the turnover is below 5 Cr. It explores whether an audit under Section 44AB is necessary for this set-off and if Section 44AD can be utilised to declare profit at a presumptive rate (6% or 8%) while still adjusting prior losses.

Can someone pls revert.

 

Yes losses can be set off against profit from F&O.

If turnover is upto 2 crores rupees then 44AD can be availed
Yes you may set off previous losses against this years profit without audit
you can also go for 44ad if your aggregate turnover is within 2 crores
