Hence, the loss incurred by the appellant in the transactions in respect of trading in derivatives was not a speculation loss as defined in Section 43(5) of the Act and it was a business loss. Accordingly, the A.O. is directed to treat the loss of ₹ 96,50,334/- incurred in trading of derivatives (F O) in shares as business loss. Therefore, the addition of ₹ 96,50,334/- made the A.O. into the returned income on account of treating the same as speculation loss is deleted. Hence, this ground is allowed. 7.
