This conduct of the assessee defies all logics because such practice is done only in the derivatives market where no delivery is taken and the settlement is done only on account of profit or loss - The statement of the Director of the share broking company cannot be brushed aside lightly - When the person from whom the alleged transaction has been taken place categoricall .....

From the short term capital gains the assessee set off loss on sale of shares at Rs. 1,65,077/-. The same was disallowed by the AO on the ground that one of the Directors of the share broking company in his statement recorded during the course of the search has stated that his broking company was giving bogus bills/capital gain/commodities profit, etc. The same share broking company also provided the list of the persons who have taken bogus bi .....

The assessee is a salaried employee and nothing has been brought on record to show that she has been trading/investing in the stock market in the past/subsequent years. Any person who is investing in the stock market always takes delivery of the shares and get the shares transferred in the Demat account. In the present case no delivery of shares was taken.
