Quick Summary

Intraday trading income can indeed be taxed under Section 44AD of the Income Tax Act, provided it's your sole business activity. To qualify, you must calculate your turnover by summing the absolute values of profits and losses from daily trades. You'll need to declare a minimum profit of 6% of this turnover, even if your actual trading resulted in a loss.
