THANKS IN ADVANCE

I am a salaried person, doing some share market transactions in cash as well as F&O segment. Please advise as to the profit (if any) from the F&O segment and also from cash segemnt is to be treated as BUSINESS INCOME or INCOME FROM OTHER SOURCES?

I'm getting following charges on my shares transactions apart from brokerage -
1) Service Tax
2) STT
3) Transaction Charge
4) Stamp Duty
5) SEBI Tax

Is there any exemption that is available on these charges that are paid for shares transaction? Is the exemption/treatment different in-case of Intraday & Capital Gain? Is it needed to track these expenses differently for Shared Intraday Trading & Shares Delivery transaction?
