Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to report losses from Futures & Options (F&O) trading in your Income Tax Return (ITR). It addresses common misconceptions about tax audits and turnover thresholds. The consensus is that F&O losses are treated as business losses and can be carried forward, with specific guidance provided on when a tax audit might be necessary.

I can help you out with this. I have filed many returns having same case. In market many people have misguided opinions regarding this. Check your inbox.
F&O loss would be treated as business loss. further tax audit would be applicable as there is a loss or profit less than 6% of turnover.
Tax audit will not be applicable.
Loss should be audited but practically people declare 6% as profit on turnover and file ITR without tax audit under 44AD
Neither 44AD with 6% profit is required nor audit. We can show losses and can carry forward them.
As per this tool, Tax audit applicable if there is a loss
