Compute the MOD value (difference between sale and purchase of each transaction without mathenatical sign) That will be regarded as your turnover.

Beng into the field of COMMERCE, I would recomend that there is NO substitute for maintenance of books of accounts whether or not it is mandatory. You can keep the record in EXCEL, with contract notes saved electronically.

See, Vikas, either you are NOT disclosing ALL your details to these CAs or you have some preconceived notion about the whole transactions. Please understand that this is a judgemental call. The act has NOT given it in a neat and tidy manner. In fact there are LOT of controversies as to whether or NOT share trading should be considered as INVESTMENTs or BUSINESS. The next in the line is, if it is business, then is it SPECULATIVE. The answer given by me is based on the assumption that your share trading is SPECULATIVE in nature.
