In fact, the order of the CIT (Appeals), in para 2.10 clearly records that the appellant had clarified that no additional evidence was filed during the appellate proceedings. Furthermore, a comparison of the details of the share transactions in question from the AO’s order and the CIT (Appeals) order would show that there is complete identity as to the details of the transactions i.e. the name of the companies, the duration of holding, date of purchase, date of sale etc. In fact, CIT (Appeals)’s order is a more elaborate analysis of some basic material. Furthermore, it was not pointed out during the course of the hearing as to what was the additional material or evidence reiterated before the CIT (Appeals) by the assessee, which necessitated the remand. we notice that the CIT (Appeals) had recorded that 29% of the transactions reported by the assessee could be treated as short term capital gain.

Sir, it could have been well appreciated by the learned AO from the records made available before him that the appellant had consistently been declaring income in past and future years under the head LTCG/ STCG and also consistently reflecting the impugned investments in the financial statements under the head 'Investments' and valuing the same at 'cost price' unlike on 'cost price or market price which ever is less' as is done by a trader as, also mandated by the Accounting Standard released by the accounting apex body lCAI.

Various judicial decisions on this subject including those cited by the appellant have also been perused. These decisions lay down principles on the basis of which, it has to be decided whether income from shares is to taxed under the head capital gains or under the business head. No single criterion is decisive but a holistic consideration of all the factors is required. In the light of principles laid down in these decisions, it is clear that in this case, the AO s decision to tax income from shares under the business head and not under the head capital gains, is not legally tenable. 7. Having regard to the elaborate discussion, the CIT (Appeals) consequently concluded that the department s contention that the amounts ought to be treated as business income was meritless in the following terms : 2.1 Ground no. 1 challenges the addition of ₹ 2,77,96,322/- on account of considering STCG and LTCG of ₹ 80,02,356/- and ₹ 1,97,93,968/- as business income.

T(A) accepted the assessee's submissions that no additional evidence were filed. Thus Ld. CIT(A) without verifying from the AO, has accepted that additional evidence were furnished during the appellate proceedings. In our considered opinion on the facts and circumstances of the case, AO should have been given an opportunity to go through the submissions before the Ld. CIT(A) and given a report. 8.2 As regards, the merits of the case, we note that Ld. CIT(A) has produced the assessee's submission in his whole order and then in few pages he has noted down briefly the assessee's submission in his own order. Thereafter, Ld. CIT(A) has allowed assessee's appeal. Ld. CIT(A) has not given any finding himself on the submissions of the assessee. In these circumstances, the Ld. CIT(A) order cannot be said to be a speaking order showing proper application. In our considered opinion, on the facts and circumstances of the case, interest of justice will be served if the matter is remitted to the file of the AO. The AO is directed to consider the issue afresh. Needless to add that the assessee should be granted adequate opportunity of being heard. 9. The appellant s counsel .....

In fact, the order of the CIT (Appeals), in para 2.10 clearly records that the appellant had clarified that no additional evidence was filed during the appellate proceedings. Furthermore, a comparison of the details of the share transactions in question from the AO s order and the CIT (Appeals) order would show that there is complete identity as to the details of the transactions i.e. the name of the companies, the duration of holding, date of purchase, date of sale etc. In fact, CIT (Appeals) s order is a more elaborate analysis of some basic material. Furthermore, it was not pointed out during the course of the hearing as to what was the additional material or evidence reiterated before the CIT (Appeals) by the assessee, which necessitated the remand. In these circumstances, the Court is of the opinion that present appeal has to succeed. However, we notice that the CIT (Appeals) had recorded that 29% of the transactions reported by the assessee could be treated as short term capital gain. In these circumstances, the remand directed by the ITAT is limited to enquiry on this aspect. The rights ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
