Tax on profit from Commodity Trading

This query is : Resolved 

20 November 2009 I am a Director of a manufacturing concern.

Lately we have made some profit from Trading in Commodity (some commodities are related to manufacturing and some are non related).

I wanted to know what would be the tax treatment on such profit derived from Trading in Commodity ? Would be a part of Business Income or would be short term gain ?

Can i set off current year business loss with profit from trading in commodity ?

Regards,
Prateek

20 November 2009 trading in commodity is in the nature of speculative bussiness,

hence setoff is not possible

16 April 2011 Will this circular of MCX will have any impact now??
