..... tment to take advantage of concessional tax rate. It is also pertinent to recall the that in his audit report the auditor has also described the naf siness of the assessee company as share trading' and not an investor. Therefore, in the light of above discussion there is no doubt that the profits earned by the assessee in the year were to be assessed as business income and nor short term capital gain. Accordingly, I treat the income of ₹ 41,46,235/- shown by the assessee as short term capital gain as business income. I am satisfied that by showing business income to the extent of ₹ 41,46,235/- as short term capital gain the assessee has furnished inaccurate particulars of his income for which penalty proceedings u/s 271 (1) .....

Furthermore, we are of the opinion that the ITAT duly considered the applicable law in deciding that the income was not business income but in fact short term capital gain. The question of law urged, therefore, does not arise. 6. So far as the other question with respect to disallowance under Section 14A is concerned, we noticed that the order of the ITAT merely remands the matter for re-adjudication afresh in the light of the directions in Maxopp Investment Ltd. v.
