Business loss: File returns or not.

ITR Filing 1182 views 11 replies

Hi,

I had some business loss in last financial year while doing f&o trading.  The loss is quite less (say 5k) and i don't want to carry forward it as I don't have future plans to start f&o trading again.

i don't have any other source of income also. So whether i need to file income tax returns or not ?  

For last 2 yrs, i filled itr-4 for minor business profit and loss. I don't want to take too much pain in filling lengthy itr-4. Is it ok ?

If there is really any risk, then i will fill itr 4. but whether this risk is required or not?

Thanks,

Riya Kapoor.

Not mandatory to file ITR, because u have no income during last PY & also you don't want to C/F business loss.

If the return is regularly .. file it. 

yes you can claim if return is regurly

Hi Riya,

If you have other incomes also than you should disclose income/loss from all the sources, leaving one source of income and moving ahead with the rest can create a problem. As you are hiding the facts fron IT deptt., which you should not do.

Its is good to regularly file the return, but it is not mandatory if the income from all the sources is less than the exemption limit.

though it is not mandatory, but step ahead and file the return, it will save you from forthcoming knee jerks as the DTC is in pipeline and taxpayers would feel little pain on its implementation, so dont break the chain, and keep the records updated.

It is advisable to file a Income Tax Return.

Agreed with the answers provided by the other members of CCI family.

If you dont have an idea to carry forward the loss, then no need of filling return. But its better to file return if you have any other source of income

you must file the return it will be beneficial for future to get any other advantage.

if you do not want to carry forward loss then don't mention it, but atleast file the return.
