Nifty and commodity gold


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether trading in Nifty F&O and commodities can be classified as business activities for tax purposes. It addresses the requirement for a Tax Audit Report, noting it may not be needed if over 95% of transactions are digital. Crucially, it confirms that both F&O and commodity trading, when conducted with same-day square-offs, are considered non-speculative business losses, not speculation losses.
