Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether losses from intraday trading and Futures & Options (F&O) can be carried forward without a mandatory tax audit. Generally, if you incur losses in speculative or F&O business, a tax audit is required. However, an exception exists if your total income falls below a certain threshold. The conversation also touches upon relevant sections of the Income Tax Act, like 44AB and 44AD, and the conditions under which losses can be set off against future profits.

Loss under Intraday Trading can be claimed if Tax Audit u/s 44AD is performed by a professional Chartered Accountant. The loss can be carried forward and set off against future profits to reduce the income tax liability. Non-Speculative Loss can be carried forward for 8 years
In case of loss in speculation loss or fno business loss the audit becomes mandatory.

there is only one condition which can relieve the tax payer from auditbrequirement- if his total income is below BEL.
Agree

can you pl provide with the related provision under which section this is required.

44ab and 44ad

but in those sections, no where it is mentioned that in case of loss in FnO/speculation, tax audit is required.

If some one is in different view, please quote the related section.

Thanks

It does not have a specific mention of speculation business.

but cant you make from the general provisions which are applicable for all businesses, which requires audit in case of loss.

except 44AD, 44ADA and other deemed income sections,

I dont think if there is any provision in Income Tax Act which require Audit in case of loss.

If some one is in different view, please quote the related section.
