Loss in Trading, Tax audit

Hello All,
I done trading in both equity and F & O. The turnover from both is less than 1 cr but I have incurred overall loss.
Is tax audit required or can I file return without tax audit?

Quick Summary
If you've experienced overall losses from trading in equity and F&O, even with a turnover below £1 crore, a tax audit is generally not required. The tax laws allow for filing a normal return in such cases, as the conditions for mandatory audit typically apply when profits exceed certain thresholds or specific methods are used. Consult a tax professional for personalised advice.

Yes you can file, there is a provision in sec 44AD that if income is less than 6% of turnover then you have to get books audited even your turnover is less than 1cr but income should be more than 2,50,000 then only audit requires but here in your case you are suffering losses so audit is not required. go with normal return.
No, in case of f&o turnover is decided based on both purcahse and sale.
I'm case with prescribed method if your case falls under tax audit then it's mandatory.
