In accordance to Section 43(5) Speculation transactions means those transactions of purchase and sale in shares or in commodities which are periodically or ultimately settled without actual delivery of goods/shares. . Intra-Day Trading in SHARES is called speculative transaction and thereby these transaction constitute Speculation Business.
. Rate of taxation is just like as applicable to the normal business. However, the main problem is in setting off of the losses of speculation business. SP. Business Losses can be set off against Speculation income and can be c/fd upto only 4 years.
