Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the penalties associated with not disclosing losses from F&O trading in your Income Tax Return (ITR). It explains that F&O trading is treated as a normal business, requiring an audit by a practicing CA if your total trading turnover exceeds the threshold limit (currently ₹1 crore). Failure to disclose losses or comply with audit requirements can lead to notices from the IT department, potentially under sections like 142(1) or 143(2).

Income/loss from F&O trading will considered as normal business.Hence business loss should be audited by practicing CA.

Else high chance of receiving notice from IT dept.


However for loss equity component is not liable for tax audit since it is to be considered in capital gain

notice under which section ?

They just send formal notice to provide audit report

Dear Guest, 

 

First of all you are more concern about section of notice. so you can get notice u/s 142 (1)  or 143 (2). 

Earning profit or loss is not a decisive factor whether return or audit report should be file or not. if your total trading cross the threshold limit of audit i.e. 1Cr in a year. you must have to audited your books of accounts.
