ITR-3 Zaroori Kyun Hai
Trading income business income hai, isliye ITR-1 (Sahaj) ya ITR-2 use nahi ho sakti. ITR-3 me 'Profit & Loss' schedule bharna hota hai. Agar aapke paas salary bhi hai, to bhi ITR-3 hi bharni hogi. Loss hone par bhi ITR-3 time par file karna zaroori hai warna loss carry forward nahi hoga.
Turnover Ki Calculation
F&O me turnover profit ya loss ke hisaab se nahi, balki ek specific tareeke se nikaala jaata hai, jo tax audit ki applicability decide karta hai.
- Futures: har trade ka profit aur loss ka absolute total (positive numbers me)
- Options: har trade ka profit ya loss ka absolute total, plus sale par mila premium
- Reverse trades (square-off) ko sahi tareeke se match karke hi ginte hain
- Turnover ka tareeka ICAI ke guidance note par based hai, jise tax professional se confirm karwana behtar hai
Example
Aapne F&O me saal bhar me 40 trades kiye. Un sab ke profit aur loss ko positive number maan kar jode to ₹18 lakh aaya. Aapka turnover ₹18 lakh maana jayega, chahe net profit sirf ₹50,000 ho. Tax audit ki limit isi turnover se dekhi jaati hai.
Tax Audit Kab Zaroori Hai
- Turnover ₹10 crore se zyada ho (agar cash transactions 5% se kam hon), warna ₹1 crore se zyada
- Agar aap 44AD presumptive scheme chun ke profit us se kam dikhate hain aur income basic exemption se zyada hai, to bhi audit ki zaroorat ho sakti hai
- Loss hone par aur turnover limit ke andar ho to bhi, kuch conditions me audit lag sakta hai
Audit rules tax audit guide me detail se hain. Audit case me ITR ki due date alag hoti hai, jo tax deadlines page par updated milti hai.
