1. ITR-3

2. Speculative loss can be setoff only against speculative income. It can be carried forward and setoff for subsequent 4 assessment years.

3. In the first year of loss it can be setoff with other heads of income except salary. Can be carried forward and setoff for subsequent 8 assessment years.

4. LTCG u/s 112A is exempt upto 1 lacs. After exemption of 1 lacs, it is taxable at special rate of 10% without indexation. STCG is taxable at special rate of 15%. All other incomes are taxable at slab rates which is 30% in ur case. As you are falling into 30% tax slab alongwith 10% surcharge, setoff loss first with other incomes.

5. No subject to other factors

6. In future and intraday, it is absolute sum of profit and loss. In case of options, absolute sum of profit and losse and premium value.

7. What is exact turnover (I.e. turnover of intraday and F&O)?

8. Depends on complete facts

9. Yes

10. Also fill schedul AL

11. Reconcile the info with AIS and TIS

For detailed discussion, U may opt for phone consultation.

Hello,

 

1. ITR-3.

2. Speculative Loss can only be set off against speculative income. It can be carried forward for 4 years.

3. F&O Loss would be covered under Non-Speculative Business Loss which can be adjusted against any income other than salary. It can be forward up to 8 years.

4. Yes, this priority set-off would be fine.

5. Unadjusted losses should be carried forward.

6. In case of Futures, absolute sum of profit and loss while in case of options, absolute sum of profit and loss plus premium received.

7. Depends upon turnvoer and other facts.

8. Yes.

9. Profit & Loss account and Balance Sheet. Additionaly since income is more than Rs. 50 L Schedule AL would be mandatory.

Hi, 

 

1. ITR-3.

2.  Speculative loss can only be set off against speculative income and not against STCG/LTCG. You can carry it forward for 4 years and set-off against speculative income in future years.

3. F&O Loss is a business loss which can be adjusted against any income other than salary. So yes you can set off against rent, interest, LTCG/STCG. Any unutilized amount can be forward up to 8 years.

4. Yes the set-off priority is correct.

5. Unadjusted losses should be carried forward to claim against the incomes in future.

6. The turnover of futures is to be computed by taking sum of profit and losses (even the losses are to be added) and in case of options, the sum of profit and loss plus premium received is to be considered. If the same exceeds Rs. 5 Crore, then TAR needs to be furnished. 

7. If your turnover exceeds Rs. 10 Lakh in any of 3 years prior to the current year or business income exceeds Rs. 1.2 Lakh then you need to maintain BOA

8. If answer to 7 is yes, you need to fill Trading, PnL and Balance sheet. Further, since income is more than Rs. 50 Lakh you need to fill Schedule AL.

 

I hope this clarifies. For a detailed resolution of your query, you can contact us directly at [deleted] or take a phone consultation.

ITR 3.

You can set off such loss against any income other than salary.

You can set off loss from F&O also against any income.

 

I would recommend to either book consultation with me or file ITR with experts for further discussion of various pending queries.
