Sir, I have salary income of 2.4 lakhs . I did f&o turnover of 30 lakhs with profit of 1 lakhs , interest amount of 40 thousand. So
1) do I have to do tax audit ?
2) if yes , can I get tax audit exemption by investing in PPF for 1.5 lakh to bring net taxable income less than 2.5 lakhs ?
3) if ( salary + f&o profit + interest amount - deductions of 80c ) < 2.5 lakhs , tax audit required ? & How much income tax to pay with above equation ?
Sir, please guide me .
Thank you.
I will try to answer to the best of my knowledge. I assume, as per details provided by you, that overall net profit from f&o trading is 1 lakhs
1. Yes, you have to go for audit as total income is more than 2.5 L and trading income is less than 8%.
2. No. Its total income taken before any deduction. But I have a plan see below.
3. You can plan it for zero tax. It depends on how many tax deduction you can avail (or want to avail).
NOW
Computation of your income
Salary income - 2.4 L
Trading income - 1.0 L
FD interest income - 0.4 L
Total income - 3.8 L
Less 80C - 1.5 L
Taxable income - 2.3 L
Hence no tax payment liability but audit required.

If you want to avoid tax audit, then declare under presumptive income of 8%
NOW
Computation of your income
Salary income - 2.4 L
Trading income - 2.4 L
FD interest income - 0.4 L
Total income - 5.2 L
Less 80C - 1.5 L
Less additional investment in NPS - 0.5 L
Total Taxable income - 3.2 L
Now you have to look for deductions for 20-25 K more so as to avail zero tax. There are few, but I do not remember all at the moment. Further as per new IT amendment, you will get a tax deduction, if you limit your taxable income below 3 L
Do some homework and you will be free of audit and tax, both.
* But one point, if you opt for presumptive scheme, perhaps you have to go for presumptive scheme for next 5 years or so. Check this point too.
