Tax Rates for FY 2025-26 — What CAs Apply to This Report
The Finance Act 2024 (effective 23 July 2024) revised the capital gains tax rates. Since FY 2025-26 falls entirely after that date, the revised rates apply to all transactions in this report:
- STCG — Section 111A (equity, held ≤ 12 months): 20% + 4% cess
- LTCG — Section 112A (equity, held > 12 months): 12.5% on gains above ₹1.25 lakh + 4% cess
- F&O income: Non-speculative business income — taxed at slab rate in ITR-3 (Schedule BP)
- Intraday equity: Speculative business income — taxed at slab rate in ITR-3
What CAs Must Do with This Report Before Filing ITR
- AIS reconciliation: Match the securities transactions in this report against the Annual Information Statement (AIS) on incometax.gov.in. Common differences are settlement date vs trade date and gross vs net figures — file AIS feedback for genuine discrepancies before submitting the ITR.
- Separate segments: F&O P&L belongs in Schedule BP of ITR-3, not Schedule CG. Even one F&O contract mandates ITR-3 — filing ITR-2 for a client with any F&O trades is a defective return.
- Schedule 112A: LTCG requires scrip-wise entry in Schedule 112A — ISIN, acquisition date, cost (post-grandfathering), sale date, and consideration. This data is in the broker report; use FirstReports to auto-generate the schedule from this file.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly is the capital gains or P&L report in Choice Broking?
After logging in to choiceindia.com, navigate to: choiceindia.com → Log in → Reports → P&L Report → set FY 2025-26 → Download. The section is usually labelled "Reports", "MyAccount", or "Finance" depending on the platform version.
What date range should I select for FY 2025-26?
Set the date range to 01 April 2025 – 31 March 2026. If the platform shows a financial year dropdown, select FY 2025-26 directly. Avoid the calendar year (Jan–Dec) selection by mistake.
Does the Choice Broking report include F&O and intraday income?
Yes. The Choice Broking report covers equity delivery (STCG/LTCG), intraday equity, and F&O. F&O income is non-speculative business income (ITR-3, Schedule BP) — not a capital gain. Intraday equity is speculative business income. Both must be separated from delivery-based STCG/LTCG before entering figures in Schedule CG.
What file format does the Choice Broking report download in?
The report downloads as Excel (.xlsx). You can upload this file directly to FirstReports without any manual reformatting.
Can I upload the Choice Broking report directly to FirstReports?
Yes. Upload the downloaded file on your client's page in FirstReports. The platform auto-detects the Choice Broking column layout, classifies every trade as STCG, LTCG, intraday, or F&O, and merges it with reports from the client's other brokers — producing one consolidated tax-ready statement.
