Field map — Prabhudas Lilladher report → ITR-3
Schedule mappingEvery line in your Prabhudas Lilladher Tax P&L corresponds to a specific ITR-3 schedule or working. Use this table when you (or your CA) transcribe numbers from the broker report into the return.
| Prabhudas Lilladher report line | ITR-3 destination | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| F&O Realised P&L | ITR-3 Schedule BP | Report as non-speculative business income or loss. Do not move F&O to capital gains merely because shares and derivatives appear in the same broker login. |
| F&O Turnover | ITR-3 audit-applicability check under s.44AB | Broker turnover is a starting point. Reconcile it against ICAI GN 2025, especially option-sale premium treatment. |
| Brokerage and statutory charges | ITR-3 Schedule BP (deductible expenses) | For Prabhudas Lilladher, research and advisory charges should be claimed only where directly used for F&O trading. Brokerage, STT/CTT, exchange charges, SEBI fees, stamp duty, and GST are expenses, not reductions from turnover. |
| Ledger, fund statement, and reversals | Books reconciliation and audit working papers | Use the ledger to explain actual debits, credits, charge reversals, interest, payout, payin, and account-level costs. |
| Contract notes and tradebook | Audit trail and turnover reconstruction | Keep trade-level records in case the summary P&L does not explain turnover, charges, or option premium treatment. |
Broker-specific filing notes
Prabhudas Lilladher workflowWhy Prabhudas Lilladher needs a separate evidence trail
Prabhudas Lilladher has its own report layout, login flow, ledger labels, and charge presentation. The tax law is broker-neutral, but the evidence trail is broker-specific. Keep a folder for Prabhudas Lilladher with the FY Tax P&L or P&L statement, full ledger, contract notes, tradebook, and any support tickets or emailed statements used to prepare the return. This lets every ITR-3 number be traced back to a source document.
Reconciling Prabhudas Lilladher P&L with ITR-3
Start with realised F&O P&L, not live portfolio P&L. Then add deductible charges from the ledger and verify whether the broker report already presents net P&L after charges or gross P&L before charges. If the report mixes delivery equity, intraday equity, currency, commodity, or mutual-fund activity with F&O, split them before filing. F&O belongs in Schedule BP; delivery equity usually belongs in capital-gains schedules unless your books treat it as stock-in-trade.
Turnover bridge for Prabhudas Lilladher
The Prabhudas Lilladher turnover field should not be accepted blindly for AY 2026-27. Build a bridge with four columns: broker-reported F&O turnover, realised favourable/unfavourable differences, option-sale premium received, and GN 2025 adjustment if premium is not already netted. Keep this bridge even when audit is not required; it is the working paper that explains why you did or did not cross the s.44AB threshold.
Expense schedule for Prabhudas Lilladher
For Prabhudas Lilladher, research and advisory charges should be claimed only where directly used for F&O trading. Use the ledger to list brokerage, STT/CTT, exchange charges, SEBI charges, stamp duty, GST, DP/account charges, data costs, software fees, advisory costs, and interest where directly connected to F&O trading. Do not include personal costs or investment-only delivery charges unless there is a clear business nexus. Expenses reduce business profit; they do not reduce turnover.
When Prabhudas Lilladher reports are incomplete
If the broker does not provide a single tax-ready statement, do not estimate from memory or screenshots. Use the best available official exports: tradebook for trade-level result, ledger for charges and cash movements, contract notes for statutory levies, and bank statements only for reconciliation. If a CA prepares or audits the return, give all four files together instead of only the summary P&L.
Turnover method — what Prabhudas Lilladher uses
Not publicly stated by brokerPrabhudas Lilladher does not publish a crawlable public page that conclusively confirms a GN 2025-compliant F&O turnover method. Treat the broker turnover field as provisional until you verify how options premium is handled in the downloaded report.
Editorial note
For AY 2026-27 onward, ICAI GN 2025 includes option-sale premium where it is not already netted into trade-level P&L. If the broker report follows older absolute-P&L logic, manually bridge the difference before deciding audit applicability.

Prabhudas Lilladher-specific gotchas
Real issuesOfficial broker report first, dashboard screenshot last
Prabhudas Lilladher dashboards can show live, marked-to-market, or simplified values. ITR-3 should use downloaded FY reports, ledger, contract notes, and tradebook evidence.
One ITR, not one return per broker
If Prabhudas Lilladher is one of multiple brokers, aggregate all broker P&L, turnover, and charges in one ITR-3. Audit is tested on total business turnover, not per broker.
Broker charge labels can differ
Prabhudas Lilladher users should separate broker research/advisory costs from general investment services before claiming expenses.
Audit applicability under s.44AB
Same rule, every brokerThe s.44AB audit test does not vary by broker. It depends on your aggregate F&O business turnover (across all brokers), the 5% cash-receipts/payments rule, and your s.44AD history. A loss alone is not the audit trigger.
Run the audit applicability checker or read the F&O tax audit hub for the full decision tree, including the s.44AD(4) 5-year lock-in trap.
Loss set-off and carry forward
s.71 / s.72- Same year: F&O loss from Prabhudas Lilladher can offset business income, house property, capital gains, or other sources — not salary.
- Carry forward: 8 assessment years, only against future business income.
- Mandatory: file the loss return on or before the s.139(1) due date. Late = no carry forward.
See F&O loss hub and the set-off checker.
