A Speculative transaction is defined under Section 43(5) to mean a transaction in which a contract

for purchase or sale of a commodity including stocks or shares is periodically or ultimately settled

otherwise than by actual delivery or transfer of the commodity or scrip

Dear Vijay,

Agree with the members.

However, in case of Auction (failure to give delivery or failure to make payment), there are possibilities to treat such profits/losses as Capital Gains/Losses.

Also in case contract is entered OTC and terminate by reason of non performance of duties on part of seller and any claim of damage received/receivable by the Buyer shall be chargeble under head Capital Gains.
