As the turnover is more than Rs. 2 cr, audit is required. For charges, please contact personally. I am based in New Delhi and can easily assist you in audit and filing of ITR.

Hi, Thanks for connecting. Sorry to hear about the loss incurred. Unfortunately, audit is mandatory even though there is a loss. And because of F&O turnover, your professional income will come with ambit of audit. Fees will be Rs. 25000 + GST. Following documents will be needed:

1. Contract notes of trades

2. Bank statement

3. Invoices pertaining to professional income

4. Bills/Vouchers for expenses claimed

5. Proofs of any compliances if applicable

6. Previous year ITR

7. Any other documents needed as per initial discussion before commencing audit

The turnover taken by zerodha won't be considered for audit I need to calculate it separately.

I would recommend to book a personal consultation so that everything can be discussed in person and better services can be provided.

 

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you.
