Yes Arun....BUT PROVIDED you do not do it very often....if yes then it becomes business income...

Dear,

According to me this should not be income till the property is cleared of its litigation as thee is an overriding tittle on the property...Plus the possession is still pending...hence sec 53 of the Property act also not completd....

Dear Jeet,

Let me drill one thing very simple to you....

Under Income tax only those expenses are allowed which are relatable to your income earned....Not each and every expenses is allowed as a deduction. For eg you stated stationary....for earning share income the expense of stationary has no co-relation....

There can be thousands of expenses which a person incurrs....But the moot question remains that you would need to establish a link between them...

Moreover as i have repeatedly told you...Please hire a professional in your area for help....Or you might end up in a bad position and fill up the ITR wrongly...

Hello Diosys!

Thanks for your response....

I am looking for a professional help. Hope I get one soon. Sorry to bother you

The reason I wrote the post was to get myself educated about various options of booking expenses (of course genuine ones related to my business) . For example, I never knew before that there exists a depreciation factor expense for the computer... So I thought if experts add things to the list, I can pick up which is suitable for me. But I got your point clearly.

Thanks anyway. You have been of great help to me.

Regards

Jeet

I have traded in futures and have losses. But treating the losses, how should I go? Can it be short term losses? If it is to be taken as business losses, I was told that I had to get my accounts audited by auditor as turnover is above 40 lakhs. What constitutes turnover? What should I do?

Dear Gandhi....

Calm down....nothing much to worry...

First let me tell you what is turnover in future....

It is the aggregate of the profit and loss....Please note aggregate and not sum....Aggregate means to add even the profit with the loss...For eg Profit -10000, Loss - 10000 then turnover would be 20000 and NOT 0....

So if your turnover according to the above definition crosses 40 Lacs get books audited....Otherwise maintenance of books is required,...

Thirdly i would suggest to classify this as business income so that you would be allowed to carry forward this for 8 years max....

 

[diosys]

Tax audit is to be done when one's turnover is above 40 Lacs...For those in other industry it is the basic sale achieved....But in the case of transactions of F&O there is a difference...

For the purpose of F&O transactions the limit of 40 Lacs is the profit or loss in absolute terms...Let me explain with an example....

Suppose you bought one lot of 150 shares of Financial Technology at Rs. 3000...Then you sold it at 3100....Therefore your profit is 100*150=15000...

Now you bought one lot of 1400 shares of HCC at 100 and then sold it for 110...so your profit if 10*1400=15000...

Third, you bought one lot of 8000 shares of IFCI at 60 and then sold it for 50...so you incur a loss of Rs. 10*8000=80000...

therefore for the purpose of determining the total turnover you achieved would be 15000(FTIL profit) + 14000(HCC profit) + 80000(IFCI loss) = 1,19,000....

it would not be the total transaction values but the absolute profit or loss incurred in the transactions...

I hope it is now clear .....
