Understanding the significance of the profit and loss statement and its requirements while filing ITR is crucial for every investor. However, downloading a P&L statement via Sharekhan can be unclear to some.
Hence, this article will provide a comprehensive guide on downloading the profit and loss statement via Sharekhan and the steps to upload it for ITR filing.
A profit and loss statement, also known as a capital gains statement, is a comprehensive financial record that offers a brief account of all stock market transactions. The transaction details involve shares, bonds, mutual fund units, and profits earned, including dividends paid, over a certain period.
Sharekhan, like other reputable brokerage businesses, allows its valued clients to easily access profit and loss statements for a specific fiscal year. Because capital gains are taxed under the Income Tax Act, it is significant to calculate the value for ITR filing. Furthermore, this practice allows individuals to effectively track their total earnings or losses throughout the fiscal year.
Numerous crucial facts, such as transaction dates, accurate quantification of profits or losses arising from transactions, and a full breakdown of capital gains categorisation, including short-term and long-term capital gains, are found in these statements.
Investors obtain useful insights into their financial endeavours and determine the influence of certain transactions on their overall financial status by evaluating these specific factors.
