Generic tax-audit tables often miss how F&O actually works.
F&O is 100% digital settlement so cash receipts/payments are 0%. So the real limit is a flat ₹10 Crore, no cash-% branches needed.
And an F&O loss doesn’t trigger audit on its own but only if you’d opted into 44AD earlier and exited it (44AD(4) lock-in).
Never opted in? No audit up to ₹10 Cr, even on a loss.
Simple version: Turnover < ₹10 Cr + no 44AD lock-in = ITR-3, zero audit.
PS. Always check the section, not just the chart.

Majority of our equity funds have outperformed benchmark indices for the majority of past period as of July 31, 2026.
This outperformance is happening despite severe constraints faced
- Our equity funds being open ended carry cash balances up to 5 % to meet redemptions where as index carry no drag of cash balance. The adverse impact on fund performance is 35-50 basis points.
- Our Equity Funds incur transaction costs like STT and Brokerage for every investor subscription and redemption whereas Index carry no such transaction costs. The adverse Impact on a small AUM Fund cound be more than 50-100 basis points.
- Our Equity Funds incur impact costs for portfolio changes even though index inclusion and exclusion happens at closing prices for indices.
- Our Equity Funds can't invest beyond 10 % in a stock even though index doesn't have any cap on stock weight
- Our Equity Funds have to follow regulations like waiting for RBI approval to hold more than 5 % in a Bank or as a Group not to own more than 15 % in a MII company like MCX.
Despite all these constraints we continue to deliver value to our unitholders.
My Verdict
Door 2: file. Door 1: Run the FMV maths, get the cost -base position in writing, and check FEMA before you settle tax.

11. Protect your knees, back, and sleep like they're irreplaceable — because at 40 they nearly are. The way you treat your body now becomes the body you live inside at 60. Small daily care — stretching, walking, sitting less — costs minutes and saves years of pain. Your joints don't send loud warnings until the damage is done. Movement is the cheapest medicine that exists.
7. Audit your circle and step back from anyone still running from their own life. At 40+ your people should be building, not numbing every weekend and mocking ambition. You absorb the standards and ceiling of the five people closest to you, whether you notice or not. You can't rise surrounded by people committed to staying stuck — your growth makes them uneasy and they'll pull you back.
4. Sleep and wake at the same time for 30 days, weekends included. After 40, an inconsistent sleep schedule hits harder and takes longer to recover from.
Research shows your hormones follow a circadian clock, not your calendar. I found one habit that made sticking to that routine much easier.
1. Fix your teeth, skin, and posture before spending on clothes. At 40+, grooming reads louder than any outfit. Healthy teeth, clear skin, and a straight back tell the world you still take yourself seriously, and people treat you the way you treat yourself. Posture alone changes how a room receives you before you speak. It's not vanity — it's signaling.
