Since both the appeal and the cross objection are arising out of the same order of CIT(A), we dispose them off by this common order. 2. The issue to be decided in this appeal of revenue is as to whether Explanation to Sec. 73 of the Act can be made applicable in the facts and circumstances of the case. 3. Brief facts of this issue are that the assessee is a Private Limited Company, engaged in the business of purchase and sale of shares, securities, commodities and derivatives. The Ld.

In order to determine whether the exception that is carved out by the Explanation applies, the Legislature has first mandated a computation of the gross total income of the company. The words "consists mainly" are indicative of the fact that the Legislature had in its contemplation that the gross total income consists predominantly of income from the four heads that are referred to therein. Obviously, in computing the gross total income the normal provisions of the Act must be applied and it is only thereafter, that it has to be determined as to whether the gross total income so computed consists mainly of income which is chargeable under the heads referred to in the Explanation.
