Quick Summary

Income earned from Securities Lending and Borrowing (SLBM) is generally taxed under 'Income from Other Sources' for individual investors who aren't actively trading securities as a business. If securities trading is your main business, it can be classified as 'Business Income'. In both cases, the income is taxed at your applicable income tax slab rate.

12 August 2025 Such income is taxed under “Income from Other Sources”, if the client is not trading in shares as a business. This applies to most individual investors.
Alternatively, if the client is in the business of trading securities, it can be treated as “Business Income”.
The income is taxed at the applicable slab rate as per the total income of the individual.
