Dhan F&O tax: export your P&L and get the correct ICAI turnover

Dhan's realised P&L statement is the right file to export. Here is where to find it, what Aktai Tax does with it, and how you get the ICAI-correct turnover your ITR-3 needs.

How to export your Tax P&L from Dhan

Open app.dhan.co or the Dhan mobile app and log in.

Go to Reports

In the navigation, open Reports.

Select Tax / P&L Statement

Choose the Tax or P&L Statement option and select the financial year (April to March).

Export the realised P&L

Click Export or Download. Use the realised P&L statement, not the contract notes.

Upload to Aktai Tax

Upload the Dhan file in the Aktai Tax import flow. Aktai recognises the Dhan format and computes ICAI turnover.

What Aktai Tax reads from the Dhan file

The Dhan "Profit and Loss Report": a short preamble (name, UCC, date range), a summary table by segment, then one detail section per segment.

Sections and how each is treated

Section in the file	Treatment in your return
F&O Segment	F&O: non-speculative business income (ITR-3)
Commodities Segment	Commodity: business income
Currency Segment	Currency: business income
Equity Segment	Equity delivery: short-term capital gains by default

Columns it uses

Security Name
ISIN
Buy Qty and Avg. Buy Price
Sell Qty and Avg. Sell Price
Realised P&L
Open Qty and Unrealised P&L (ignored)

Good to know

Numbers with thousands separators arrive quoted with a line break inside the cell, so the importer reads the file as proper CSV rather than line by line.
An older, simpler Dhan layout with section headers such as "F&O" and "Short Term" is read too.
The file name is not needed: the "profit and loss report" preamble identifies it as Dhan.

What Aktai Tax does with your Dhan file

Aktai parses the Dhan export, applies the ICAI absolute-sum method, segregates F&O and intraday equity, totals your deductible charges, and checks 44AB audit applicability. The result is a tax-ready PDF and Excel for you or your CA. Read the detailed breakdown in the Dhan tax P&L guide.

Also trade on Zerodha or Upstox?

Upload the Tax P&L from every broker and Aktai computes one combined ICAI turnover. See multi-broker turnover or the full supported brokers list.

Frequently asked questions

Which file do I export from Dhan?

Export the realised P&L statement for the full financial year. This shows profit and loss per trade or settlement, which is the input for ICAI absolute-sum turnover. Do not use order books or daily snapshots.

Does Dhan include STT and charges in the export?

Yes. The Dhan P&L export includes all statutory charges per trade. Aktai Tax captures these as deductible trading expenses, so your net taxable profit is computed correctly.

I have a large number of F&O trades on Dhan. Does Aktai handle it?

Yes. Aktai Tax processes large files and shows a preview of parsed rows before confirming. If something looks off, you can correct and re-upload, the second upload replaces the first for that broker and FY.
