The query is in connection with transactions at Commodity Exchange and your reply and opinion relates to Stock Exchange Transaction. Transactions at commodity Exchanges are speculative if it is not a hedging transaction.

27 September 2008 Dear Mr. Ahuja
when the transaction will be treated as hedging transaction by AO.
is there one to one co-relation between the future supply/sale contracts and forward trading is necessary?

29 September 2008 A transaction is in the nature of hedging when it is entered to secure against the future losses on account of price fluctuations.
In case the transaction is backed by the Stock in hand of the relevant commodity or a purchase order has been placed for the same and the F&O transaction has been entered with an intention to hedge the loss on account of price fluctuations, then it is termed as Hedging.
