Your auditor is wrong in making such arguement.
Under Income Tax Act, there is only short term and long term concept. Intraday, delievery etc is not defined out there.
If you buy and sell the shares same day for loss it will be short term capital loss. If you buy the shares and take delievery and sell it for profit in less than 12 months of purchase date, then it will be short term capital gain. Both, the loss and gain made have to be netted off with each other.
Further, even if your friend purchased shares on delievery and sold it after 12 months from the date of purchase, then it becomes long term capital gains and that can be adjusted against short term capital gains.
So the question of paying tax on profit maade on sale of shares in above case does not arise.
