any individual purchases share with intend to sale in short period,that is within 2 or 3 days.

Can we say that it's held for sale that is for doing a business & taxable under business & profesion head or,

it's short term capital gain as the delivary is taken and speculation profit when dilivary is not taken

19 July 2010 Puchase and sale of ahres by an individual deoend on many factors, such as volume of transaction, borrowed or own capital etc.

But generally profit earned on sale of shares by an individual is treated as short/long term capital loss/ gain. In your case, it should be short term gain/loss.

Further if loss/profit is made by an individual without delivery of shares, it will be speculative profit/loss.
