Proviso to Sec 43(5) of Income Tax Act specifically excludes future and option from its scope. Hence, profit and loss from futures and options will be business profit/ loss.

Trading in F & O in shares & currency is non speculative business income whereas F & O in commodities is speculative business income as per Section 43(5).

However the same will not apply from next year from which AS 30, 31 & 32 or IFRS will apply.
