Hello Friends,
I have a doubt.
suppose Intraday trading transaction -
Bought 100 ITC shares @ ₹ 50 and sold 100 shares @ ₹70.

Bought 100 RIL @ 60 shares and Sold 100 Shares @ ₹50.

Turnover in this case - ₹3000
Gross Profit - ₹1000
Brokerage - ₹ 100
STT - ₹ 300
Other charges - ₹ 100
Net Profit - ₹ 500
I can show easily in No account case column but..
How to prepare P&L account for ITR 3 ( if Account Case)..

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to report intraday trading transactions in ITR 3 when maintaining accounts. It explains that the turnover should be calculated as per IT department definitions, not just the sum of buy and sell values. The correct method involves adjusting turnover by subtracting twice the absolute value of losses, then deducting other expenses to arrive at the net profit. The advice suggests this might be treated as capital gains rather than business income.

You should mention the TO as defined by the IT department and not the notional TO.

TO minus twice the absolute value of (summation of all) losses is the profit before other expenses.

We are subtracting twice because we have added the absolute value of losses to TO figure already once.

After that, deduct all other expenses to arrive at the final profit figure.

 

From your example

TO: 3000

Twice the absolute value of loses is 2 X 1000 = 2000

Profit before other expenses is Rs 1000.

All other expenses = Rs 500.

Final net profit: Rs 500.

This will not be part of business income in my opinion. You may treat it as capital gains only
