Commodity Incomes are classified under the head Business & Profession.
It will be considered as your Business Income only even though you had traded on daily basis as well as short term basis.
Moreover as you have already crossed turnover of Rs.1 crore, you are liable for Tax Audit u/s 44AB.

Dear sir ,
With the insertion of Section 43(5)(d), eligible transactions on notified stock exchanges have been rendered non-speculative in nature. So far only BSE, NSE and MCX-SX have been notified for this purpose. Therefore, trading in commodity and equity derivatives traded on stock exchanges other than those mentioned above, is still treated as speculative, the loss wherefrom cannot be adjusted against any other sources of income...
So in that case commodity trading will be considered as speculative business income ... So all the speculative business income will be casual income to be taxed at normal business rates
Hope this will solve your query ....
