The classification of income from Margin Trading Facility (MTF) transactions depends on the nature and frequency of your trades. If your intent aligns more with business activities, it could be classified as business income, but consistency is key. If you’ve previously reported MTF profits as short-term capital gains, the Income Tax Department might question this, depending on your trading pattern.
