- The rule for taxation of LTCG has been changed in 18-19 w.e.f 01.02.2018. Up to Rs.1 lac gain there is no tax. You need to check when you had sold the mutual funds. If the gain is more than Rs.1 lacs then it can be set off against F&O losses. To claim F&O losses, you need to get the tax audit.

Dear Sir/Madam

Long-term capital gains (LTCG) on non-tax saving equity funds of up to Rs 1 lakh are tax-free in your hands.  LTCG in excess of Rs 1 lakh is taxable at the rate of 10% without the benefit of indexation. Government introduced this in Budget 2018.

For f &o Trading plz share you are frequently deal or occasionally 

Hello,

Yes, it would be liable for LTCG.

Long-term capital gains on the sale of Equity shares/units of Equity oriented Fund is leviable if the gain is more than Rs 1 lakh at @ 10% without the benefit of indexation.

If your LTCG is more than Rs. 1 Lakhs, then it can set off from the loss of F&O Trading business. To claim loss from F&O Trading Business you need to get your accounts audited.

I hope this answer satisfies your requirement.

Dear Sir,

Hope you are doing well !!

The holding period of mutual fund units can be short-term or long-term. In case of equity mutual funds and balanced mutual funds, a holding period of 12 months or more is regarded as long-term. So, long-term capital gains tax or LTCG applies to those investments. A holding period of 36 months or more is regarded as long-term for debt funds.

Yes, the gain would be treated as long term capital gain. The new tax is applicable only on amount of capital gain exceeding Rs. 1 Lakh.

Trading in futures & options must be reported as a business unless you have only a few trades (say if only 2-3 trades) in the financial year. 

Please share the details of frequency of trading in F & O for apt answer.

Hi,

- Trading in F&O is treated as business income as the purpose of trading is not to hold the contract for the investment purpose but to earn the profits on quick basis.

- COA will be comparison of actual cost, FMV as on 31.01.2018 and actual sell price.

Thanks
