3.1 How to Calculate Absolute Turnover:
(a) Obtain the absolute value from column (i). The absolute value means the real number without regard to its (+) or (-) sign.
(b) The absolute value can be calculated using the ABS formula in Excel with the following steps:
(i) Step 1: Select the cell where you want to calculate the absolute value. Click on the cell where you want to calculate the absolute value.
(ii) Step 2: Type the formula. Type the formula =ABS() into the cell.
(iii) Step 3: Enter the number or cell reference.
(iv) Step 4: Press Enter.
(c) The sum of column (i) is the absolute turnover.
3.2 The same method of calculating absolute turnover is applicable for Future & Option transactions. Prior to AY 2022-23, for calculating option turnover, the premium received (sale value) was added back to the absolute P&L number and then posted as turnover, which has now been removed by the ICAI. It has been clarified by ICAI vide Tax Guidance Note 2022 that where the premium received is included for determining net profit for transactions, the same should not be separately included.
3.3 The tax department is yet to amend the IT Act to include this condition.
3.4 In the absence of any guidance from the IT department, everyone relies on the guidance given by ICAI for ITR filing.

Invaluable article for small traders mam,
I have a net loss of 3.2L in FnO. The capital (own + borrowed) was added after blow-ups of
account, not a lumpsum. I am not salaried and don’t have other income sources.
Please guide me on my proprietor’s Fund (is my loss amount becomes pr.fund).
Grateful for your kind help mam
Enter the loss amount directly in Schedule P&L > Other expenditure.( If your turnover is less than 25 Lakhs, no need to maintain books of accounts & enter details in Schedule BS > Capital Fund etc)
Great article mam , your help is invaluable for small traders.
I am in net loss of 3.2L trading FnO, the capital(own + barrowed) was added often after the blow-up of account, its not lumpsum. I am not salaried and I’ve no other income.
Please guide me on my Proprietor’s Fund (is my loss amount becomes my pr.fund).
Grateful for your kind help
I am a salaried employee. Received 2.9Lac towards salary, 56K from SBI mutual fund redemption, 4 lac from consultancy service.In option trading, my turnover is around 9Lac and loss is about 5 Lac. Should I eligible for tax audit.
Not liable for Tax Audit.
Very nicely explained Madam, about F&O Transactions. One clarification, can we show the F&O turnover details in Trading Account Schedule or Directly represent them in the P&L account Sl. No. 46. (my case F&O LOSS 195000) If it is entered in the Trading account schedule it is reflected in P&L Account.
You can either enter Sale ,Purchase Value & exp in trading or enter net profit in schedule P&L
Both are correct way to report the transaction
Very well explained ma’am, with informative examples too. Just had a question. The client doesn’t maintain books and first time filing under ITR-3. I have taken opening holding as opening capital and since client doesn’t maintain seperate bank, purchases are routed through capital brought in(as there is loss, taking purchases through bank would cause bank balance to be negative), and sales net of selling expenses through bank. My concern is
a) Is this proper presentation?
b) the closing balance as per bank is not the same as bank statement as other transactions of bank are not included in statement of affairs . Would this cause any problem or could it be explained that since the bank isn’t exclusively used for trading, balance would not reflect the balance as per passbook.
If you do not have F &O losses and turnover is less than 25L, no need to maintain Account & enter details in Schedule BS.
Mam in F&O no account cases P&l it is not accepting negative figure what to do?
Enter the loss amount in schedule P&L > other exp.
My F&O turnover 641144 by absolute methods (Profit 191322, Loss 449822). So net loss from F&O is -258500. I have salary of 10 Lacs and FD interest income Rs. 1Lacs. Now suppose if I show F&O losses as per above article, whether tax audit provisions won’t be applicable as my profit is less than 6% ?
Tax Audit is not required if you had not opted presumptive tax in any of the preceeding 5 years.
Hi Ma’am,
Thanks for the wonderful article. It’s really helpful.
Just one clarification needed. Can you please explain how you calculated the Proprietar’s fund to be 1Lakh.
Let’s assume I have a loss of 10K, how can I get the proprietar’s fund?
1,00,000 is taken just to explain the entry in Schedule BS.
It can be your Bank / Cash balance adjusted with P&L from F&O / business etc.
Hi Sir/Mam, My F&O losses are being set off with my FD interests which is not good as my FD interests are low and I have 0 tax liability – I would like the F&O losses to be carried forward to next year – Is this possible?
Not possible- The option is not given to taxpayer under Income Tax Act
Thank you mam for such a great explanation.
Just a small doubt, in the above case, how did you take the proprietor’s fund as 1lakh? should this be actual deposit we added for trading and will the difference be simply considered as cash?
Not actual deposit.
Difference can be considered as cash
So, if they are not actual deposits then what amount should we show as capital? say if losses are 1.9L, then should i disclose proprietor’s fund as 2L ( an amount close to my losses?) or should this amount be verifiable if questioned?
Hi mam Unable to entre intraday gross loss in s.no 65, speculative, so where can I entre the losses
Sl 65 ( P&L > No Account > Speculative Activity) accepts minus (-) sign.
There should not be any issue in entering loss in Sl N. 65
hello..in case of loss..suppose loss is 30k and turnover calculations is 100000
is it OK if we report turnover 100000 in trading a/c other operating revenue column and then to get loss amount 30k we can put 130000 figure in direct expense?
pls guide
If sale value ( not absolute turnover ) is 1,00,000 and purchase is 1,30,000/- , you can either report sale & purchase value in trading account or report net loss of 30000 directly in schedule P&L Account > other expenses.
Hello Madam,

w.e.f 2022-23 , (as per ICAI guideline) sale value is not to be added while calculating absolute turnover of Options.
Tax Audit is not required and you need not to maintain Books of Accounts.

I have 3 different broking account.
Which Itr to file. do i need form 16
Please guide in this regard.

IT portal accounts my F&O losses against Income from other source for the current year .
is there any provision can I carry over this F&O losses to next year without adjusting to current year since my total earnings itself only 1.26 lacs
there is no such provision where you can carry over this F&O losses to next year without adjusting to current year.
It is specifically mentioned in the act that the losses will be set off first against income in the same financial year and only the balance losses , if any, will be carried forward
Hi ,
I am salaried person with imcome is more than basic exemption limit .
I have FNO loss of 1.5 lakh with turnover around 8 lakh.
i have never opted the presumtive tax schem in past as i am filing ITR3 first time.
Can i set off my FNO loss against other income like (interest and LTCG) without audit ?
audit is not required in my case , right ?
And can i file ITR3 in same way as you mentioned in this artical ?
Thanks
Yes , you can file the ITR in the same way as mentioned in the article.
F&O losses will be set off against other income but not from Capital Gain. LTCL only can be set off against LTCG
Is it mandatory to set off F&O loss against LTCG or F&O loss can be carried forward without setting off against LTCG
It is mandatory to adjust set off the losses from current year income b4 carry forward the losses.

Hello ,
I’m maintenaning books and account without audit, where and how to report FnO losses.
Thanks 🙏
Very nicely explained.
no need to mention turnover of f&o in itr ???
Turnover is mainly to ascertain Audit requirements.
Some experts are of opinion that sale value & purchase value is required to be reported in the TAB other income/ expenditure.
Both are right. You can opt either way to report net Profit/ loss
My turnover in Future Currency trading is Rs 4,53,260.00 and there is a loss of more than 1,00,000/-
1. Is tax audit applicable
2. do i have to prepare and submit balance sheet
Tax Audit not applicable.
It is recommended to prepare a simple statement of Accounts .
beautifully explained, with examples.
Thanks for your humble comment.
whether books of accounts is maintained to both intraday and fno??
A simple statement of Accounts indicating both intraday and F&O will do .
Very nicely explained. Beautiful presentation. However, recently turnover for option has been changed in 8th edition of ICAI’s guidance note on tax audit. It excludes adition of sales premium on turnover of option. Only sum on absolute profit/(losses) need to taken for turnover.
Thank you
Thank you sir for humble comment.
You are right. On Aug 2020 , ICAI issued guidelines and accordingly , premium will not be added for ascertaining turnover for option trading. ( though there is no clarification/ circular issued by tax authorities in this regard)
Thank you for your write up! Your guidance will certainly helps lot of tax professionals. Comprehensive one. Thank you again
You are welcome Sir.
Glad to know that it will help tax professionals .

Calculation of Turnover of not clear from the examples
Like how you have calculated the Intraday Turnover of Rs. 72027 is not clear.
Future is Okay
Option Turnover is again not clear
Calculation of turnover is not covered in the article above.
In the illustration , turnover details have been provided by the broker ( demat ) along with the summary report.
As there were large number of transactions in the illustration , it was not possible to explain the methodology of turnover calculation with clarity.
I will write separate article that will provide clear understanding of turnover calculation in case of F&O and intraday transactions.
Refer Para 3(1) in the article above. The article is revised and method to calculate absolute turnover for intraday and Future & option trading is inserted for reference.
THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION
You are most welcome Sir.
