I made Loss in fno but turnover is more than 1 crore, is audit necessary?

Quick Summary
If you're a salaried individual whose Futures & Options (FNO) trading turnover exceeded 1 crore in the 2021-2022 financial year, even with a loss, you might need to consider a tax audit. While ITR-4 might seem like an option to avoid an audit, it could lead to paying presumptive tax on your turnover. Getting a tax audit, though incurring fees, might be more beneficial as it allows you to declare your actual loss and potentially carry it forward, or at least avoid paying tax on a notional profit. It's advisable to consult a Chartered Accountant to assess the best course of action based on your specific circumstances.

Yes, now you got it correct.
Take professional services from CAs if required and close it

May I know if you opted for Presumptive scheme while filing tax returns in any of the previous 5 years?

Can you elaborate it. Feel like incomplete
Assessee is salaried, so no audit has been conducted as per my view.

Since all FNO transactions are digital( non-cash) the turnover limit is 5 crores and not 1 crore for tax audit. If presumptive basis wasn’t claimed in any of  the previous 5 years, you need not opt for presumptive basis this year and still need not get the accounts audited..

I have never opted for Presumptive scheme and never have got audited again.
  I did fno trading for the first time. 

 

Complete brief of the question ---

My CTC is 5 lac and earlier i used to fill ITR as salaried only . 
This year my fno  intraday trading turnover went to 1.4 cr.  and i made a loss of 1 lac gross (70 k loss , 30 k brokerage). All the transactions were done digitally at the broker , Can you please suggest how should i fill ITR ideally . 

I have never shown presumptive profit and have never got audited ealier.

CAs suggested two options-

1. if i go for presumptive profits - i will have to declare 6% profit and then my tax liability will be around 1 lac or more, since i haven't done any investments.

2. I get my account audited and then they can show loss in my books and then this fno loss can be carried forward .
Although, i have no plans to carry forward loss since i will stop fno completely .

but then also as per the suggested options , i feel getting audited is more beneficial .  If you have any other solution please guide

The best solution is to get your accounts audit, for that consult with some CA.
Show 10000/- notional profit and pay tax and close it
How 10000 will be notional profit????
Hope you know it last you advised a client
Notional profit is 840000
