What Aktai Tax computes from your Upstox file

Aktai parses the realised P&L per trade, applies the ICAI absolute-sum method (the same one your CA uses), segregates F&O and intraday equity, totals deductible charges, and checks audit applicability. You get a full PDF and Excel report you or your CA can use to file ITR-3. Compare brokers side by side on the supported brokers page.

Trade on more than one broker?

Upload Tax P&L files from each broker and Aktai combines them into one correct aggregated turnover. The Upstox turnover guide walks through how the numbers work. For a full combined picture, see multi-broker turnover.

Frequently asked questions

Which Upstox report should I use?

Use the Tax P&L or segment-wise realised P&L export for the full financial year. Do not use order books or contract notes. The realised P&L per settlement is the input for ICAI absolute-sum turnover.

Does Upstox include charges in the tax report?

Yes. The Upstox Tax P&L export includes brokerage, STT, exchange charges, SEBI turnover charges and GST per trade. Aktai Tax captures these as deductible expenses, reducing your taxable profit correctly.

I trade F&O and equity on Upstox. Do I need separate files?

Some Upstox exports are segmented by product type. Download all segments for the year and upload each file. Aktai dedupes by broker and FY, so re-uploading corrected files is safe.
