This discussion clarifies the treatment of speculative and non-speculative income under Section 44AD. It confirms that F&O turnover is considered normal business, not speculative. Both regular business and F&O income can be declared under Section 44AD, provided the combined profit is at least 8% of the total turnover. No separate bifurcation is needed if both are declared under 44AD.
