Intraday trade on 30/3/2026 (settled 2/4/2026) — trade date or settlement date for tax FY 2025-26

Hi all,

I placed an intraday trade on 30-3-2026, which settled on 2-4-2026 due to holidays. My broker’s Tax P&L report for FY 2025-26 doesn’t include this trade (since settlement fell in FY 2026-27), but from what I’ve read, income tax treats speculative/intraday income by trade date, not settlement date.

Questions:

  1. Is trade date or settlement date the correct basis for including this in FY 2025-26?
  2. Should I manually add this trade to my FY 2025-26 calculation and file accordingly, or just go by the broker’s report as-is?, If i do this i am worried that income tax refers to Brokers tax report and it won’t match with mine

Would appreciate views from anyone who’s handled this before.
