Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to handle tax on derivatives transactions, specifically futures. The total profit and loss from futures trading is considered the turnover. It's confirmed that presumptive taxation under Section 44AD can be applied to this turnover, allowing for tax calculation based on a percentage of the turnover rather than the actual profit.

I think you cannot offer a lower profit.
Yes Sushant ji, the absolute profit (here 13L) will be your Turnover and provisions of 44AD presumptive taxation can be applied.
