I have more purchase return than purchases in FY 23-24 resulting in negative purchases. How do I show the same in P&L statement of ITR as it is not allowing to file negative figure.

Please suggest.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to report excess purchase returns in an Income Tax Return (ITR) when they result in negative purchases for the financial year. The user is seeking guidance on how to accurately reflect this in the P&L statement, as the ITR system doesn't allow negative figures. Advice includes correctly showing purchase and sales figures in Schedule Cl, adjusting the cost of goods sold in Schedule COGS, and ensuring the net profit or loss is accurately reflected in Schedule PL.

In the ITR(Income tax return), report the correct figures in the relevant schedules:

1.Schedule Cl: Show the correct purchases and sales figures.

2Schedule COGS; Reflect the adjusted cost of goods sold.

3.Schedule PL: Ensure the net profit or loss is accurately reflected.
