07 May 2011 A person did intraday trading in commodities futures on 31st march 2011 & EARNED PROFIT. this transaction will be shown in his ledger with broker on 2nd april. now question is that whether that profit will be taxable in year 2010-11 or 2011-12?

08 May 2011 The profit is earned in the financial year 2010-2011. So, it will be taxable in the same year. It wont matter on which date the transaction will be shown. The contract note shall bear the date 31st March Only. So the transaction is to be shown in books on accounts in the same year only.
