my client purchases shares and sold on the same day. sometimes he will sell within 4 or 5 days. he may sell within 15 days. will the transaction be treated as short term capital gains or speculation income. plz clarify
Speculative business in shares is kind of business where transactions takes place without actual delivery of shares. in some instances trader may purchase the shares in the morning by actual delivery and sell it in the evening by actual delivery. this will not be treated as speculative business but as stcg
