Hi @atulkumar,

It is always a good practice to file an ITR, especially after the various partnerships with the ITD including SEBI to avoid notice. In case your total taxable income is less than the basic exemption limit there won’t be any tax liability.

Hi @atulkumar

Crypto currency trading is different than forex trading. Forex trading has the same tax treatment as currency trading. It is considered a non-speculative business income, profits are taxed at slab rates and loss can be set-off and carried forward. You can read more about it here

Hey @atulkumar

Income from forex trading is a non-speculative business income as per the Income Tax Act. Such income is taxable at slab rates. Further, if your total income from all sources of income is less than INR 2.5 lacs, it is not mandatory to file ITR.

In case you have incurred losses, you must file your ITR to claim and carry forward such loss.
