Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the accounting treatment for profits made on the purchase and sale of shares. It confirms that such profits should be recorded under 'Profit on Shares A/c' within 'Indirect Income' in the Profit and Loss Account. For tax purposes, these are treated as capital gains, and a separate 'Capital Gain' ledger under indirect income is recommended for IT computation.
