2020 (5) TMI 451 - AT - Income TaxReopening of assessment u/s 147 - long term investment into stock-in-trade during this assessment year and assessee has also offered the long term capital gain on the date of conversion - Speculation loss - HELD THAT:- Assessee sold all the shares and incurred a huge loss and as per the records submitted before us, assessee has claimed it as the business loss considering the fact that assessee has treated the above shares which was sold during the year as stock-in-trade. As per the records brought to our notice by Ld. AR, it clearly indicates that all this information of conversion of shares into stock-in-trade were brought to the notice of the AO in the original assessment itself. All this information was very much available on assessment records and now the AO reopen the assessment on the same set off of information and we rightly notice that Ld. CIT(A) clearly observed that assessee has furnished the details of capital gain which are also on account of treatment of investment into stock-in-trade vide letter dated 31.10.11 before the AO. According to Ld. CIT(A), it cannot be said that AO has not verified this fact. Since the assessee has filed a copy of Board Resolution and workings of long term capital gain before the AO in the original assessment itself and it substantiates the findings of Ld. CIT(A) that all this information were very much available for the AO in the original assessment to complete. Therefore, in our considered view that the findings of Ld. CIT(A) seems to be in order. In the reasons for reopening, AO has not nowhere indicated that the business loss suffered by the assessee can be treated speculation loss and only in the revised assessment order, AO came to the conclusion that this loss can only be speculation loss. Therefore, we are inclined to accept the finding of Ld. CIT(A) that the re-assessment order is only a change of opinion. Accordingly, grounds raised by the revenue stands dismissed.
