Thank you for your advise. But a bit more clarification. I had taken an advise from a CA, who informed me that the profit from F&O can be treated as BUSINESS INCOME, from cash segment can be treated as CAPITAL GAINS and the return can be filed using ITR 4 form and in the BUSINESS INCOME ward of IT dept. Kindly advise.

It depend on the frequency of transactions. If it is a regular business same can be treated as business income and return may be filed using ITR4. But it cant be treated as capital gains.
