(1) Profits / (Loss) of F & O are treated as speculative business.... hence its gain or loss from business.

(2) (a) Short Term Gain / Loss U/s 111A is taxed @ 10% and 15% resepctively for F.Y. 07-08 and 08-09 ....

(b) If its long term gain / loss from securities on which STT is paid... any gain or loss is exempt u/s 10(38)

(d) if long term gain is other than point (b) then it be taxed at the special flat rate of 20%....
