Because of either of these two?

1. I am setting of 7000 profit with charges and brokerages ending up negative net profit?
2. I want to carry over my losses so that I can set it off next year?

If that is the case, can I set off these losses with my other business profit? I am working as a freelancer.

Tarun,

can you repost the facts of your case....
 
Tarun,



can you repost the facts of your case....


Income from other sources (freelancer) = 5lac+


Short Term Equity TurnOver = 24,000
Short Term Equity Profit = 3000
Charges = 400


F&O
Profit = 17000
TurnOver = 2,00,000
Charges = 23,000


Logically, I am having net loss of 23,000 if I consider charges. Otherwise I am having profit of 8.5% on turn over.

Can you confirm considering my facts in above post?

To carry forward losses, you need Audit.
Since your income (+5L) is in higher slab, you need Audit.

The 8.5% of your TO doesn't hold unless you are will to pay flat tax on 8% of your TO.

EQ income is speculative STCG, cannot offset with losses from non-speculative losses.

many traders daytrade in Equities segment , audit rules/scenarios same as in FNO as discussed in this thread ?

if other business income 3 lakhs
FNO loss 20,000
Equity (daytrading) profit 20,000
what shall be net income ? as profit and loss are in different segments.

As far as I could understand so far:
1. Short Term capital gain on equity
2. Loss carry forward in FNO (business income)
3. Audit mandatory

1. short term capital gain only if taken delivery in demat account.
daytrading equity comes under speculation.

To best of my knowledge
total income will be
3lakhs -20 k (FNO loss adjusted with other business income) + 20 k daytrding aka speculative profit
= 3.00 lakhs

audit will depend on turnover

As per zerodha varsity
"Speculative (Intraday equity) loss can’t be offset with non-speculative (F&O) gains, but speculative gains can be offset with non-speculative losses."

what this means is , in above example FNO and equity P&L cancel each other , so net income is 3 lakh only.
