Track Taxable Income from your Trading
Monitoring your taxable income from trading is essential for accurate tax filing. Once you have connected or added your broker accounts and settlements, you can access a detailed breakdown of your Profit & Loss (P&L) and tax-related insights.
How to View Your Taxable P&L

- Navigate to Tax P&L
- Click on Tax P&L from the dashboard.
- Apply Filters
- Filter by a specific broker account or view consolidated data across all accounts.
- Select the financial year (FY) for which you want to analyze taxable P&L.
Key Sections in Tax P&L
This section categorizes your trading income across different asset classes, aligning it with relevant tax groups.
- LTCG (Long-Term Capital Gains)
- STCG (Short-Term Capital Gains)
- Intraday Income
- F&O Income (Futures & Options)
Each category displays your realized gains or losses for the financial year.

2. Loss Adjustment Section

Key Components:
- Net Realized P&L – Total profit or loss before adjustments.
