SBI Securities is the brokerage division of the State Bank Group, which has been operational since 2006. It provides many services, such as retail and institutional equity, DP services, derivatives, online trading, etc. The company’s clientele mainly includes domestic retail investors, corporates, HNIs, NRIs, foreign institutional investors(FII), asset management companies, and other financial institutions.
SBI Securities has its headquarters in Mumbai and aims to be the ‘investment partner of choice’ for every Indian investor. The organisation’s website also hosts a range of unique features which can help investors monitor their financial data. Users can easily download their profit and loss statements to assess their performance and use them for filing ITRs.
This article contains a step-by-step guide to help them do the same.
SBI provides a service to download Profit and Loss (P&L) statements for the current and past financial years. Profit and Loss usually provides an overview of stocks, funds, and investments that you have invested along with the metrics like total investment amount, dividends received, gains and losses realised.
Such details help investors understand their portfolios' financial performance and their investment strategies' effectiveness. They also help them determine whether they need to change their current methods to increase profits.
Profit and loss statements also come in handy when filing income tax returns. Depending on the holding period, they can be classified as short-term or long-term capital gains, which would be taxed accordingly.
Thus, it is the responsibility of every taxpayer to upload their P&L statements while filing their ITRs.
To download your capital gains statement from the SBI securities platform, follow the steps given below:
Step 1: Visit the official SBI Securities website and enter your login credentials.
Step 2: Go to the ‘Portfolio’ tab, and under the ‘Statements’ section, Select Capital Gains.
Step 3: Set the ‘Select Financial Year’ as ‘2023-24’ and select ‘Equity’ as the ‘Asset Type’. Choose the period as ‘Annual’, select ‘Detail’ and click on ‘Submit’. When the system generates the reports, click on the ‘Excel’ icon to download the report.
Note – You need to download the P&L report separately for each asset type. For example, if you have invested in ‘Future and Options’ and ‘Equity’, you should first download the report for one asset and then repeat the process for another.
