Income on Intraday

Whether a Govt. Servant can do intra day trading and F&O Trading?  Is it allowed?   If so,  how the  income or gain can be treated?  My friend had gained about Rs.1,50,000/- in intraday trading and Rs.100,000/- loss on the F&O.  Can he show Rs.50,000/- as income and pay the taxes accordingly?

Intra day trading is speculative income and loss on derivatives is normal business loss.Hence you can setoff, but the reverse is not possible.
