manishji ,

in case of day trading the turnover is decided on the net off profit & loss suffered during the year . suppose der is a profit of 100000 and a losss of 50000 den the turnover wd b only Rs.50000 . and itr - 4 will b used 4 it.

1. Business Income ( Speculative ) 43(5)

2. yes T/o would be total of favorable and unfavorable difference ( that is profit + loss ) as per guidance note on TA issued by ICAI,i guess adityaji has bymistake mentioned as profit or loss

3. Not required , unless 003 /002 is applicable for IPO's etc

4. ITR 4 since it will be assessed as business income

 Dharmesh , in your example , the turnover for 44Ab will be 150000 ( 100000 + 50000) and not 50000 , should be noted that yr information is not correct .
