Filing itr in ay 23-24

if I have income from other source is 4 lakh
and loss from. non speculative business(option trading) is 7 lakh
is itr filing mandatory?
because I want to leave option trading so carry forward of losses does not make a point
should I file itr just to carry forward the loss?

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether filing an Income Tax Return (ITR) for AY 23-24 is mandatory when you have other income of 4 lakh and a business loss of 7 lakh from options trading. While your total income might exceed the threshold, the key consideration is whether you need to file to carry forward losses. If you don't anticipate future non-speculative income, filing might not be strictly necessary. However, it's generally advisable to file to avail the benefit of carrying forward losses for up to eight years, as circumstances can change and you might wish to offset future business profits.

Yes you must carry forward .
I am going to continue my further study so i will have no income does carry forward losses makes sense?
Any unadjusted loss can be carried forward for eight years. However, in the future, they can only be adjusted from non-speculative income. F&O trading loss is considered a non-speculative loss
Exactly which us why I am asking is itr filing mandatory for me because in future I will have no non speculative income or loss
If in future you expect that you won't have any income from non speculative business than to file an ITR won't be necessary however if you expect that you'll have any income from non speculative business than in order to claim setoff at that time you must file ITR u/s 139(1) on due date to carry forward.
Ok thank you so much
Income tax filing is mandatory since other income income is 4lacs which is above 2.5lacs
Irrespective of what you decide today i.e leaving or continuing options trading, you should avail the benefit of carry forward of loss by filing ITR. If circumstances change in future and you might start any other profitable business. So atleast you can adjust the profits with brought forward losses.
You can plan to file ITR . You may also take the consultancy from professionals like CAs and tax consultants.

It is better to file instead of getting notice from IT department
