As per Explanation to Section 73 of the I.T.Act, where any part of bus. of co. consist of purchase or sale of shares, such company will be deemed to be carrying on speculation bus of trading in shares.

Exception- if the GTI CONSISTS MAINLY OF Inc from HP, CG, OS.

Is the below-mentioned loss in share trading a speculation loss or not?

Example:

Jyoti

The company mentioned above is not an investment company.

In that case, is the loss in share trading of Rs.20,00,000/- a speculation loss
