01 September 2008 All delivery based transactions may be booked under the heads of Purchase or Sales, if a business activity otherwise Investments. However, the profit or Loss from Jobbing being speculative may be booked under a separate head as 'Profit or Loss from Settlement of Contracts'. Dealing in F&O segment being non speculative in view of sec 43(5) may further be accounted for sepatately under the head of profit or Loss from Derivatives.

It is worth mentioning that the entries relating to Margins like MTM should be accounted for separately.
