..... investment or trade. In the said circular of CBDT it has stated the principle laid down in the case of Associated Industrial Development Company (P) Ltd. [1971 (9) TMI 3 - SUPREME Court ] and in the case of H. Hoick Larsen (1986 (5) TMI 30 - SUPREME Court ) which afforded adequate guidance to the Assessing Officer while determining whether a transaction is in the nature of investment or trade. When the ratio of these decisions when applied to the facts of the present case, then it would be found that assessee satisfied the requirements because as a rule, the assessee had taken delivery at the time of purchase and given delivery at the time of sale in respect of all the shares in its investment portfolio and the assessee had also kept separate records to record the transactions of each category, i.e., delivery based and non-delivery based (F&O). Also, by treating the delivery based transaction as an investment, the assessee clearly established that it did not take the first step as a trader, hence, the result of the delivery based transaction it was treated as short term capital gain or long term capital gain depending upon the period of holding of such shares. The tests of badges .....

The above referred show cause notice is reproduced for reference as under: As per Column 8(a) of 3 CD of the audit report, nature of business or profession has been written as share transaction, then why purchase of share of ₹ 3,87,78,265.27 has been shown as investment, in share in the asset side of the balance sheet of the year under consideration and not shown as closing stock of the business.

..... thing but intention of trade. It was pointed out by the AO that the assessee earned only a meagre amount of dividend of ₹ 1, 09,444/- from the share he had with him in the year under consideration. 10. According to AO the facts and circumstances of the case indicate that the voluminous share transaction were in the nature of the business and purchase of share by the assessee was not for the purpose of earning dividend, but with the dominant intention of resale in order to earn profit. According to AO, the huge volume of share transaction, the repetition and continuity of the transaction, give them a flavour of 'trade'. The magnitude, frequency and the ratio of sales and purchase on the total holding is evidence that the assessee had not purchased the share as an investment, but with the intention to trade in such scripts. So according to AO, during the year the assessee traded in purchase and sale of share through brokers and declared huge profit earned from this activity. The assessee has shown this income as long term capital gain and short term capital gain on the plea that the shares were held as investment. However, while going through the share account on dem .....

He, therefore, assessed the gain resulting from the sale of share of ₹ 2,81,79,381/- as business income. 15. Aggrieved the assessee preferred an appeal before the ld CIT(A) who was pleased to dismiss the same. 16. Aggrieved the assessee is before us. 17. The Ld.

But for extra and abundant caution Tax-Audit has been done. The Ld. AR pointed out that the AO only referred clause 8(b) of the audit report and did not mention clause 12(a) of the same audit report, which mentioned that there is no closing stock of shares. 20. The ld counsel for the assessee brought to our attention the details of the long term capital investment made in shares for the year under appeal and contended that the AO has brought in transaction which is not relevant for the A.Y. under consideration and submitted that only three scrip has been sold in this year to claim long-term capital gain and 3 scrip for short term capital gain. 21.

(Refer P-18-19 in paperbook) 24. Countering the next objection of the assessing officer that M/s Shubh Karan Das Chiranji Lal Agencies Private Limited, with whom the appellant is stated to be a director, the AO observed that this is no company which is existing and it is only an Agency; and that the appellant spends most of his time in no other work except share trading, the ld AR submitted that the assessing officer has reached this conclusion without fully appreciating the true facts. According to the ld AR M/s Shubh Karan Das Chiranji Lal Agencies Private Limited is indeed in existence and its company master data record from ROC is placed at P-17 of the paper book and the appellant is stated to be a director in this company since 01.03.1995.

Vinay Mittal: 208 Taxman 106 dated 27.04.2012 and attention was also invited to the decision of the Hon'ble Bombay High Court in the case of CIT v. Gopal Purohit: 336 ITR 287, dated 06.01.2010 wherein it was held that Capital gains on sale of shares treated as investment income in earlier years cannot be treated as business income in subsequent years. Further, the Hon'ble Court also upheld that the assessee can keep two portfolios one for jobbing (without delivery) to be classified as business portfolio and other as investment to be classified as capital gains. 28. It was pointed out by the ld AR that the said decision of the Hon‟ble Bombay High Court has now been affirmed by the Supreme Court vide judgment dated 15th November, 2010 in CC 16802 / 2010, 334 ITR 308 (St.) and emphasised consistency in tax treatment. Similarly, on the similar issue in the case of Jindal Photo Investment Ltd., the Hon‟ble Supreme Court dismissed the department's SLP on 13.09.2010 reported in 334 ITR (St.) 307.

AR prayed that the impugned confirmation of the addition made by the AO by treating the capital gains on shares as business income be deleted. 32. On the other hand the ld DR supported the decision of the ld CIT(A) and argued on the same lines as reasoned by the AO and does not want us to interfere in the impugned order of the ld CIT(A) and cited the following decisions Dalhousie Investment Trust Company Limited Vs.

In the light of the decisions relied upon by her, the ld DR vehemently supported the decision of the ld CIT(A) and urged us not to disturb the well reasoned order of the ld CIT(A). 37. We have heard the rival submission and perused the relevant material on record. Before proceeding further, we want to make it clear that any decision to hold shares as Investment‟ or Stock-in-trade‟ depends on a host of factors. There can be no single criteria to decide the nature of shares purchased. In fact, it is the cumulative effect of all the relevant factors, which is taken into consideration for reaching a conclusion as regards the nature of shares and the resultant income arising from their transfer. There may be some factors indicating the purchase of shares as investment, while others may point towards stock-in-trade. It is the holistic consideration of all such factors which is kept in view while deciding as to whether the shares purchased by the assessee constituted stock-in-trade or investment. 38. Since the AO and the ld CIT(A) has held that the profit assessee earned is business income and .....

..... vailable on record. For the purpose of finding out the nature of transaction as to whether it is an investment or adventure in the nature of trade, one has to see the intention of the assessee at the time of purchase of the shares. The assessee is only an employee having salary income. In the return of income as seen from the assessment order, the assessee has claimed ₹ 83,712 from share trading and another sum of ₹ 53,84,239 as exempt income on sale of certain sales. This ₹ 53,84,239 was treated by the Assessing Officer as business income on sale of shares. We find that the CBDT in its circular No. A12007. dated 15-06-2007 examined this issue and after referring to the judgment of the apex court, instructed all its officers that it is possible for the taxpayer to have two portfolios, i.e., investment portfolio. When the assessee has two portfolios, the income has to. be assessed both under' the head. capital gains as well as business income . In this case, the assessee is a salaried employee.' Therefore, the question of maintaining two portfolio does not arise for consideration. The assessee invested his funds as investment and whenever it was convenie .....

(P) Ltd., 82 ITR 586, the Hon‟ble Supreme Court had observed that whether a particular holding of shares is by way of investment or forms part of the stock-in-trade is a matter which is within the knowledge of the assessee who holds the shares and it should, in normal circumstances, be in a position to produce evidence from its records as to whether it has maintained any distinction between those shares which are its stock-in-trade and those which are held by way of investment. Ld. Counsel of the assessee has submitted that the assessee is an individual who have invested his funds in various shares.

Further it was submitted by the ld. AR‟s that as and when the opportunity arose, the assessee sold the shares in the open market. According to him, the said gain was in the nature of short term capital gain which was duly offered for taxation in the return of income filed by the assessee firm for the year under consideration as well as earned long term capital gain on shares which were sold after one year. Further, it was brought to our notice that assessee has not borrowed funds for the purpose of making investments so as to call its activities as business. 48.

However once the nature of shareholding is accepted or known no further test is required to be applied for determining the nature of dividend income. If the holding of shares is business (Stock in trade) then the dividend earned is business income, although required to be taken under the head Other Source for computing of income. If shares are held as a capital investment the dividend cannot be taken as business income. 52. The Hon‟ble Madras High Court in CIT Vs. Ramaamirtham reported in 306 ITR 239 has observed that there is nothing in law which prohibits a trader in shares to invest in shares. It further held as under: Held, dismissing the appeal, that on the facts it was found that the assessee had been maintaining separate books of account for trading in shares and investment in shares. The assessee was carrying on the business only in the name of the company and the surplus earned from the company had been shown as business income. The payment for the shares had been done by the assessee in his personal account. Further, .....

The Mumbai ITAT (having identical facts as in the case of the appellant), in the case of Gopal Purohit vs. CIT (2009) 122 DJ 87 (Mumbai) wherein it has been specifically held: The assessee was engaged in sale and purchase of shares. The delivery based transactions were to be treated as of nature of investment and profits there from were to be treated as short term or long term capital gains depending on period of holding. Such profits could not be treated as business income. 55. The said judgment has further been upheld by the Hon'ble Bombay High Court reported at 228 CTR 582 (2010). In the present case, all the transactions are delivery based transactions only. The assessee also earned dividend of ₹ 1,09,444/- thereon.

The ld DR pointed to the return from assessment year 2011-12 filed by PB letter dated 17.12.2014, wherein she took our attention to Page 2 of the ITR wherein investment column is shown as Nil‟ and she contended that if the assessee was investing in shares, he could have duly reflected it in the column specified for it in the ITR form. So the ld DR‟s contention was that assessee was in business of shares and has not so reflected about shares in the investment column. There is a flaw in the aforesaid contention of the ld DR, for the simple reason that a perusal of Page 1 of ITR form reveals Part A-Balance sheet where the particulars are required to be furnished of the proprietary business as is evident from a perusal of the same. When the assessee is not doing trading/ business in shares then he has rightly not reflected the same in Page 2 of the ITR form, whereas if he was doing business of shares he should have reflected it. However we find that, the assessee had filed along with the ITR form, the balance sheets i .....
