However, in the present case, the assessee had not retained the shares with the intention of earning dividend income. The investment was incidental to his business of sale of shares. Therefore, the ld.CIT(A) was justified in holding that the AO wrongly apportioned the expenditure incurred by the assessee in acquiring the shares to the expenditure of dividend income and making the disallowance u/s 14A of the Act. In the present case, the assessee did not make the fresh investment and even out of the stock-in-trade 75% of the shares were sold during the year which clearly shows that bulk of the shares which were purchased earlier, were sold and the income derived from those shares was offered to tax as ‘Business income’, .....

In view of above, income of the assessee is recomputed as under:- Income from Salaries Rs,2,40,000/- Add: Disallowance U/s 14 A Rs.13,63,477/- Less: Adjusted from Business Loss Rs.13,63,477/- Nil Taxable Income Rs,2,40,000/- .....

DR strongly supported the order of the AO and, further, submitted that the assessee made the investment and had not bifurcated the investment and stock-in-trade. Therefore, the addition was rightly made by the AO by making the disallowance u/s 14A of the Act.
