How to Report F&O and Intraday Profit or Loss?
If you’ve connected an app under Capital Gains, your intraday and F&O data won’t be fetched automatically. Here’s why and how to fix it.
Why Intraday and F&O Data Doesn’t Show
When you connect an app under Capital Gains, only delivery based trades are fetched, such as:
- Stocks or ETFs held for more than a day
- Mutual Funds, Bonds, and Debentures
These are taxed as capital gains.
