04 July 2012 According to section 43(5), the expression “speculative transaction” means a transaction in which a contract for the purchase or sales of any commodity including stocks and shares, is periodically or ultimately settled otherwise than by the actual delivery or transfer of the commodity or scrips. Further, in view of Explanation to section 73, the transaction of purchase and sale of shares by non-banking and non-investment companies must also be deemed to be speculative transactions for tax purposes.

04 July 2012 Thanks for the reply.

So you mean speculative profit should be chargeable under the head business and profession???

Also require guidance as to whether in Form 4 where this income has to be included.

Also whether against the speculative profit can i claim any expenses.
