05 March 2008 Commodity Dealing are mainly without taking delivery. So as per act when there is transaction for purchase and sale or sale and purchase which is entered without taking delivery it is speculation gain/loss. So, that way you have to show it as speculation gai/loss. If you are taking delivery than selling. in that way it will be normal business, so apply as per business income.
