Frequently Asked Questions

How to Access Paytm Money P&L statement?

There is no need to download the profit and loss statement for Paytm Money users. Follow the steps below to fetch your share trading details:-

  • Login to ClearTax 
  • Go to the ‘Income Sources’ tab> ‘Capital Gain Income’> click on ‘Add Details’
  • Click on Paytm Money and log in to the broker’s account

Your capital gain details will be automatically captured.

Which ITR form applies to Paytm Money users (for both long-term investors and traders)?

Income from shares and mutual funds falls under the capital gains head. Individuals having capital gains or losses from shares and mutual funds during the year can file ITR-2. However, if you are into intraday or F&O trading, you should report it under the head 'Income from Business and Profession’. Hence, individuals having capital gains and other income (other than business income) should file ITR-2, and others should file ITR-3. If you file your ITR through ClearTax, there is no need to choose the ITR form. It will automatically get selected as per your financial details entered.

How to file taxes if I have trading accounts from multiple brokers?

If you trade on platforms like 5paisa, Paytm Money or Groww, you can just log in to all these broker’s accounts through ClearTax to update the capital gains details. In addition, you can upload tax reports of all the brokers (we support multiple brokers), and the platform will fetch all the details and auto-calculate your taxes.

How to do tax-loss harvesting when filing through ClearTax?

You can add the previous year’s loss details on ClearTax. ClearTax helps to automatically adjust such losses with your income as per the Income tax law.

Can I also show other incomes while filing through ClearTax?

ClearTax allows adding all types of income, such as salary income, rental income, profits or loss from business and profession, capital gains or losses, and other income details (interest income, dividend, lottery winnings, etc.), on its platform.
