EQUITY SHARE INTRADAY IS BUSINESS PROFIT OR CAPITAL GAIN


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether intraday equity share trading constitutes a business profit or a capital gain. The consensus suggests that intraday trading is considered speculative business. Therefore, losses from such trading cannot be set off against other income sources like professional income but can be carried forward. Additionally, if the trading activity is deemed a business, a tax audit may be applicable, even if profits are below certain thresholds.
