As per ICAI Gudieliness In the case of an assesee undertaking speculative transactions there can be both positive and negative differences arising by settlement of various such contracts during the year.

Accordingly, the aggregate of both positive and negative differences is to be considered as the turnover of such transactions.

02. For limit Sec 44AA is also applicable to specualtion business for maintaining of books of accounts hence if
