This is not the position. Turnover from sale of shares shall not be the criteria.
The criteria is the total of the mod values of the profit and the loss figures arising out of the trading transactions. This is applicable for those who want to carry it as business and not as investment.
If the gross receipts of sales is taken audit may become applicable in the very first day
Let us understand this with the helf of illustration.
Case 1:
Profit : 25 Lakhs
Loss: 25 Lakhs
Total of mod values: 50Lakhs
Audit Not Applicable
Case 2:
Profit: 40 Lakhs
Loss: 25 Lakhs
Total of mod values: 65 Lakhs
Audit Applicable
Case 3:
Profit: 10 Lakhs
Loss: 55 Lakhs
Total of mod values: 65 Lakhs
Audit Applicable
I hope you are clear with the concept now.
