Bassuuu,

Your st.... reply already in query...

Salary Rs 4.5 lakh and F&O loss Rs 16 lakh:
• The F&O loss can't be set off against salary (Sec 71(2A)), but can be set off against other heads such as house property, other sources or capital gains in the same year.
• The unabsorbed loss is carried forward 8 years, to be set off against business income only.
• Tax on salary is computed normally. File ITR-3 by the due date to carry forward the loss.
• Audit: not needed if turnover (absolute profits and losses) is below Rs 10 crore, unless under the 44AD(4) lock-in.
