business income

In India, money from frequent trading can be taxed like money earned from running a shop, not like a normal investment gain.

The fuller meaning

An Indian tax category: trading in exchange-traded derivatives (F&O) counts as non-speculative business income, and intraday share trades settled without delivery as speculative business income, instead of capital gains. Tax rules change often, so traders check current official guidance or a qualified professional.
