Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether income from Nifty options, bought and sold within the same day, is considered speculative or non-speculative for tax purposes. The consensus suggests that such income is non-speculative business income, regardless of intraday trading. Consequently, filing ITR 3 is generally recommended for individuals with salary, capital gains, and intraday trading income.

  1. Non speculative.
  2.  File ITR 3 or if no other capital gain then ITR 4.

Person having LTCG,STCG and Intrad day only(1 share trading for only 1 day)

Than ITR 3?

Person having LTCG,STCG and Intrad day only(1 share trading for only 1 day)

Than ITR 3?

You may file ITR 2 with the trade declaration under 'Other Income'.

Nifty option sale is non speculative business income whether squared off in one day or not .

 

So it should come as non speculative business income and ITR3 should be filed strictly as per law.
