My Client has Income From Arbitrage (Stock Market), So whether it is to be taken as speculative income or not?
In Which Head does it fall?
Please assist me in detail.

Normally under the head speculation business, unless derivatives are involved.
Instead of thinking as to which head the income will fall, eliminate other heads and then see what is left.
