Hey @TeamQuicko
Can I file a revised return even after I have received a refund?
Hey @HarshitShah
Yes, you can revise your return and carry forward the trading losses even if ITR is processed and refund is received.
Hope this helps!
Hey @HarishMehta
Yes, ITR is mandatory to file when you had done transactions in the respective financial year. If there are losses, you don’t have to pay Income Tax, but transactions have to be reported in ITR.
Hey Team, do I need to e-verify Belated Return??
Hey @TanyaChopra
Yes, you need to e-verify the Belated Return filed after the due date. It will not be processed by the IT Department unless it is e-verified.
You can refer to the below article to understand how to file and e-verify Belated ITR.
Do let us know in case you have any further queries!
Hey Team, good day!
What are the consequences if I do not show Trading Transactions in ITR?
Thanks in advance!
Hello, So if I file a revised return, I’ll be eligible to carry forwarding losses. When can i set them off. and also if are any other benefits I am not aware off?
I am new to filing returns hence such basic questions.
Hey @Niraj,
Carry forwarded losses can save you from paying heavy taxes in the future. For eg. If you fall in the 30% tax bracket, for every profit you make in the derivative market, 30% is the tax rate. Instead, if you have carry-forward losses from previous years, you have to pay tax only on the balance amount after the set-off of losses.
Can I carry forward trading losses in case of a revised return?
Hi @Joe_Fernandes,
Yes, losses can be carried forward for a specific period as mentioned in the Income Tax Act, in case you have filed an original return within the due date.
