Upstox traders are required to file ITR every year at the end of the financial year. The Income Tax Law prescribes multiple ITR forms that have to be selected by the taxpayer based on his/her income type.

For example, if you have income from share trading, commodity trading, derivatives, etc., you need to file either ITR 2 or ITR 3.

For example, if the income from trading is capital gains, you have to file ITR 2, and if your income from trading is considered business income, you have to file ITR 3.
