I had traded in Derivative Instruments(Nifty F&O) via recognized stock exchange( NSE) and STT was also paid. As it comes under business activities, in my ITR filing I offset the loss in F&O against my traditional business income along with an audited balance sheet. After that IT dept. sent me a notice and my advocate prayed for a rectification u/s 154; now the IT dept has rejected that and have sent a demand notice. In this circumstances, what should I do next?
