well mr hari0-omkar, taking delivery means purchasing the shares.
in a stock market, it's like this, you get shares from your brokerage firm and sell it for a profit. pay him back the amount you took and enjoy the profit.
taking delivery means you ACTUALLY buy the shares , and the shares get delivered to your demat account.
trading account : it's a account which is with your broker , it's liek a current account with no returns. and in the evening at market close IF YOU DO NOT SELL BECAUSE OF LOSS the shares get transferred to your demat account which is like a savings account, in which you can take shares any time and sell it for a profit.
main reason why day traders don't want to take delivery is this :
1.
brokerage is 10 times the normal trading that is normally one pays about 5 paisa per 100 to make the trade, and adding service tax and security transaction tax, that turns out to be about 14 paisa. but in delivery it's about 50 paisa single side, which totals to be 1.40 Rs per 100 bucks, so in delivery case it's liek you have to pay 1.40% just to break even.
still that is justified i will say because if you are losing 5% on a trade, it really does make sense to take delivery.
2. when you take the delivery , you block your capital for time being because, since you have the shares, you are in practical terms not incurring any expenses on it, and you can sell it when you wnat. - -- - for a profit, hopefully.
( it's not liek you cannot sell the shares for a week or some time, it's just that you have to pay the broker immedg., and thats a problem for most of the people, sinc ethey are usually workign on margins.( interest free credit provided by broker), and dont' really have capital of themselves..
that's about it.
hopefylly i have clairified,

Well today is not my day it seems.
May be some planet is there(Rahu??) above my head.
Anyways,dear Indianzz,I didn't want to know about the process of delivery of shares.Rather,I want to know that what theory provoked you to write "you are right you cannot earn in day trading unless you are prepared to take delivery".(post no.55)
In other words,why a daytrader can't earn without taking delivery?
