Sir ITO has a right to treat Whether it os a business income or LTCG/STCG. It depends upon the volume of transaction traded during the yea. If you are doin daily trading then it will come under the Head Business in nature of Speculation If you are not doing Day Trading then, the ITO can see the number of transactions taken place during the year and the frequency of such transaction Further if he says that it will be treatedv as business income then you can claim all expenses incurred u/s 28 of the incometax act in calculating Business Income
