1. You can find out if your liable to pay tax or not by calculating your income, if your income is above the basic exemption limit (Refer 2.3) you will have to pay taxes as per the slab.
2. If you doing Intraday trades you would have to show your activity as business and you can calculate total profit for the year (Sales-Purchases-Expenses).
3. As said earlier, its not just trading income its calculated on your total income, if your total income is more than the exemption limit you will have to pay taxes.
4. After calculating total taxes payable you can pay tax online.
5. Calculate your total income and pay taxes according to the slab of respective financial year.
6. As you would be categoriesd as a trader you will have to fill ITR 4, Refer here for details on how to fill.
However if you have no clue of how this works, it would be best to consult a chartered accountant (CA) before filing your returns.
