Turning Tax Filing into a 3-Minute Job – Shoonya Brings Quicko to Traders

Tax season is one of the most stressful times for traders and investors. Many people even claim it’s tougher than trading itself. Between downloading contract notes, preparing spreadsheets, calculating capital gains, handling F&O income, and keeping track of deductions, it actually takes up a lot of time.

At Shoonya, we are invested in more than just your trades. We are invested in your growth, and we believe learning is a journey. A trader’s journey doesn’t end with buying and selling stocks. It also includes staying compliant, and ITR filing is one of the most important parts of it. And, it should be as easy as your trading decisions.

That’s why we are bringing Quicko, India’s leading tax filing platform, directly to you. Starting September 4, Shoonya traders can file their taxes in just a few minutes.

Our new integration turns days of paperwork into a smooth, three-minute process. Your trades auto-sync, your tax summary is ready, and your return can be filed with complete accuracy.
