Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the requirements for filing Income Tax Returns (ITR) when dealing with short-term capital gains (STCG) from shares. It explains that filing ITR2 for STCG generally does not necessitate a tax audit. However, for intraday trading, the turnover is calculated differently, and if profits exceed the exemption limit, filing ITR3 might be necessary. It's recommended to consult a tax professional for accurate guidance.
Intraday Trading, the Turnover equals Absolute Profit. Absolute Profit is the sum of all positive and negative differences from all the transactions.
I will suggest you file your return with professional person, he will guide you in better ways, as now a days department is raising the query even for small matter.
