Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies tax audit requirements for F&O intra-day traders in India, particularly for FY 2020-21. It explains that the tax audit threshold was increased to Rs 5 crore from FY 2019-20 under specific conditions regarding cash transactions. The conversation delves into how to correctly report turnover in ITR 3, differentiating between settlement amounts and F&O calculated turnover, and how to reconcile net losses.

Tax audit will be applicable if turnover exceeds 1 crores rupees but in your case turnover is less than 1 crores rupees so tax audit is not applicable
The tax audit limit has beem increased from FY 2020-2021. No tax audit is required.

The threshold limit of Rs 1 crore for a tax audit is increased to Rs 5 crore with effect from AY 2020-21 (FY 2019-20) if the taxpayer's cash receipts are limited to 5% of the gross receipts or turnover, and if the taxpayer's cash payments are limited to 5% of the aggregate payments.

My F&O loss is Rs.7,00,000

Consisting of Positive settlements of Rs.15,00,000/- and Negative settlements of Rs.22,00,000/- and Turnover as per F&O calculations is Rs.2,95,00,000/-

Whether my case is Tax audit or not?

In ITR 3 , which turnover  should report i.e. Positive settlements of Rs.15,00,000/- or Turnover as per F&O calculations is Rs.2,95,00,000/-

If I report Positive settlements of Rs.15,00,000/- as turnover in ITR 3 than what is the use of Calculation of turnover as per F&O calculations, is it only deciding factor of Tax audit?

If I report turnover of Rs.2,95,00,000/-.as per F&O calculations in ITR 3 than how I arrive my Net loss of Rs.7,00,000/-? shall I put balance figure as purchases.
