Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax treatment of profits and losses from share trading. Intraday trading, where shares are bought and sold within the same day, is considered a speculative business and losses can offset other business income. Profits from shares held for more than a day are treated as short-term capital gains, taxed at a flat rate. It's also noted that significant losses in speculative business may necessitate an audit.

Intraday business is speculative business.

Shares trading with delivery in & out within few days is non speculative business.

Loss/Profit from intra day trading is treated as speculative business profit/loss (Taxable as per slab rate). Profit from shares sold after one day is short term capital gain and taxable @ 15%

Agree with above comment
