The revenue has raised the following grounds:- Revenue by: Shri Suman Kumar Assessee by: Shri Anuj Kisnadwala 1. The Ld. CIT(A) has erred in treating the transaction of purchase and sale of shares as STCG instead of business income. 2. The appellant craves leave to amend or a .....

It is also argued that the assessee also used the borrowed funds to the tune of ₹ 1.01 Crores for the investment in the shares, therefore the nature of income of assessee is only business income and the assessee claimed the Short Term Capital Gain wrongly and illegally which has wrongly been held by the CIT(A) as income from Short Term Capital Gain, therefore, the order of the CIT(A) is wrong against law and facts and is liable to be set aside.

While the shares held as capital asset were valued at cost in the accounts, the shares held as stock-in-trade were valued at the lower of cost or market value; (ii) There is no bar on a stock broker holding shares as an investment. The mere fact that the assessee is an expert in share trading does not mean that he cannot hold shares as a capital asset.

The appellant has not transacted at all during 120 days out of 250 working days during the year. This suggests that the appellant has not transacted during approx.. 50% of the total working days during the year. This clearly highlights that the transactions were not entered into frequently, continuously and regularly by the appellant. 7.5 The appellant has earned 46% of the total Short Term Capital Gains with a holding period more than 9 months and 57% of capital gains with a .....

Investment in shares as percentage of capital always showed the sufficiency of capital over the years as can be noted from table 1 above. Therefore, there is no truth in AO s observation that investment in shares was out of borrowed funds. 7.7 The stand of the appellant as an Investor has been accepted by the A.O. in the earlier under section 143(3). The assessment for A.Y.2007-07 was completed u/s.143(3) by DCIT Circle 2, Jaipur and the capital gains on sale of shares and securities were accepted and taxed as short term at ₹ 26,22,295/- and long term capital gain assessed at ₹ 1,86,846/-.
