Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether share speculation with a total consideration exceeding £3 crore necessitates a tax audit. The key factor is the sum of positive and negative differences from trades, which must exceed £1 crore for Section 44AB to apply. For intraday trades, profit and loss are calculated individually, and only positive differences are summed to determine audit applicability.

Audit liability arises only if the sum of positive and negative differences exceeds the threshold limit that is 1 crore
44 AB applicable or not

If trades are from intraday then purchase and sale value is irrelevant.
What you need to do is calculate profit and loss on each trade individually (without considering brokerage and other COA expenses)
Now you need to ignore negative value from all loss trades and sum it up
In excel this can be done easily using ABS Formulae

 

Yes, tax audit is applicable.
