05 July 2014 Option trading loss is a speculation loss which can be carried forward for 4 years, adjustment against such speculative gain.

It will come under business, so relevant return has to be filed with tax audit.

11 August 2014 have to disagree. Options trading is not speculative income. please refer proviso to section 43(5). such losses/incomes shall be considered as normal business loss/income and shall be available for carry forward upto 8 assessment years.
