The transaction has not been appreciated in the proper perspective. In that regard, our attention has been invited by Mr. Malhotra to the order of the Assessing Officer and his findings at page 24 and 25 of the paper book. It is submitted that the assessee has declared his business that of dealing in shares, debentures, derivatives and units of mutual fund. It had declared a short term capital gain and a long term capital gain. It had declared business income from dealing in shares and a sum of ₹ 6,15,414/- as profits and gains of speculation business.

If the Tribunal does not hold that the concurrent findings are perverse, then, all the more, this question is a substantial question of law. 4] As far as question at para 6.2 is concerned, it is conceded by Shri Malhotra that the same is covered against the revenue and in favour of the assessee by a judgment of this Court in the case of Godrej Boyce Manufacturing Pvt.

The Tribunal noted that there is no bar of trading in the share as well as keeping some scrips in the investment portfolio. The assessee has maintained a separate portfolio right from the beginning with regard to the transactions/investment and where the shares had been treated. The total number of transactions are only 27 during the entire period. This itself shows that the activity of sale and purchase of shares in the investment portfolio is not frequent.

It is in these circumstances and finding that the volume of the investments as indicated in the separate portfolio is enough to indicate that the trading transactions have been undertaken from the .....

The expenditure came during the financial year relevant to the assessment year under consideration. Therefore, it was allowable. In the given facts and circumstances because the insurance policy cover is extended to the next financial year does not mean that the premium paid during the year under consideration is not an allowable expenditure. This is also a finding based on the peculiar facts and circumstances and in relation to the present assessee.
