Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how intraday speculation profits, like the Rs.12 lakhs earned by a client, are treated for tax audit purposes. It explains that turnover is calculated by aggregating the absolute values of profit and loss from trades. For options, turnover also includes premiums paid and received. The Rs.12 lakhs profit is understood to be the net figure after accounting for losses.

Multiply the purchase value by the lot size and then multiply the sales value by the lot size.

The difference between this gives us the profit or loss, which is the turnover.

Add these absolute values to get total turnover, for future transactions.

Total Options turnover (across all the transactions done in a given year) = Total profit – total loss + total premium received for the sale of Options – total premium paid for the purchase of Options

The turnover for intraday - speculative trading is the aggregate or absolute sum of both positive and negative differences from trades 

Rs. 12 Lakhs must be the profit after adjusting the losses.
