Due date of ITR for Option Trader

This discussion clarifies the Income Tax Return (ITR) due date for individuals earning income from both salary and option trading. The consensus is that if your option trading turnover is below ₹10 Crores and no tax audit is required, the due date is 31st July 2026. If option trading is considered business income and requires a tax audit, the due date would typically be 31st October, but for non-audit cases, it's generally 31st July unless specific business income rules apply, making 31st August a potential date in some interpretations.
