Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to account for losses incurred from buying and selling shares when it's not your primary business activity. The consensus suggests these losses should be treated as capital losses rather than business losses. Therefore, they should be adjusted within capital gains and reflected in your IT computation, not transferred directly to the Profit & Loss account.

Consider it under loss from capital gains ..
If it is not main business , then Investing in shares will be Investment , and as per AS 13 loss will be transferred to profit and losss account.
You need to adjust in IT Computation.

You have to reverse it from business and consider it under capital gains..

( Incomes considered seperately )
Please do not consider my above reply loss transfer to p&L .
