As you discussed in you query of Speculating income...it will always be business income...total OF profit AND loss shall be added in turnover for the purpose of section 44AB. Secondly, there is no clear cut policy of ITD regarding the treatment of sharing trading...whether to treat it business income or capital gain, but the intention of the investor matters i.e.with which intention it invested his money.To avoid the litigations you may prefer to adopt the method to treat it as business income...since in this method...department is in benefit. Transaction of F & P are also of business in nature.
