ITR3 FNO LOSS

Greetings,

My ONLY source of income is FNO trading.
Booked LOSS = 10 Lakhs ( Including Charges this year )
Total Turnover = 4 CR.
I want to File ITR3 & Carry Forward Losses, to offset them in coming years.

Does Tax Audit and Maintaining Book of Records required / Mandatory for me ? 
(OR) Since, Turnover is less 10 CR, Can I fill ITR3 myself without any Tax Audit?

Thank you

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses an F&O trader with a ₹10 lakh loss and ₹4 crore turnover who wishes to file an ITR3 and carry forward their losses. The key question is whether a tax audit and maintaining books of accounts are mandatory given the turnover. The consensus is that while maintaining books of accounts is mandatory, a tax audit is not strictly required if the turnover is below ₹10 crore, allowing for ITR3 filing without one.

Audit is mandatory for your books of Accounts as T/O is more then 1 Cr. Make sure you conduct audit on time so that you can carry forward your losses to next FY

Maintaining books are mandatory, but Tax audit not mandatory in your case.

Thank you Sir for the clarification .... :)

You are welcome.
