   Facts

   ITR-3 has a Profit and Loss account and Balance Sheet part for business income. Traders who keep books fill these; where accounts are not maintained, the form has simpler fields for key figures. Turnover and gross profit must be consistent with your F&O working.

2. P

   Provisions and law

   • Sec 44AA (now Sec 62)Books of account
   • Sec 44AB (now Sec 63)Tax audit if business turnover exceeds ₹1 crore, or ₹10 crore where cash receipts and payments are each within 5%
3. A

   Analysis

   Show turnover as the absolute sum of profits and losses, say ₹30,00,000, gross profit as net trading result, then expenses and net profit. In the balance sheet, show capital, broker balance and bank balance. Inconsistent turnover between the P&L and audit check is a common error.

   Conclusion

   1. 1Prepare turnover and net result from broker data
   2. 2Fill P&L with turnover, expenses and net profit
   3. 3Fill the balance sheet with capital, broker and bank balances
   4. 4Check that Schedule BP matches the P&L
