Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the correct accounting method for a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) whose sole income source is share trading, with a turnover of approximately Rs. 1 crore. The current method uses the mercantile basis for purchases, sales, and expenses, with accounts duly audited. The consensus is that this mercantile basis is the correct procedure, especially given the speculative nature of day trading, which necessitates compulsory maintenance of books of accounts.

In case of speculative business, books of accounts should be maintained compulsorily.

Expense, Income and other related expenses and income of shares related should be shown in accounts
It's correct procedure.
You have to maintain books of accounts.
You can maintain that on mercantile basis

As I have already said in your case, you are right, speculative business, books of accounts should be maintained compulsorily.

Expense, Income and other related expenses and income of shares related should be shown in accounts
