..... e and expenditure in its return which details in themselves are not found to be inaccurate which cannot be said that the assessee has concealed the particulars of income or furnished inaccurate particulars merely because in relation to those particulars as claim for deduction is made which is not accepted. We thus do not find infirmity in the first appellate order on the issue. The same is upheld. The ground is accordingly rejected. 6. It was not disputed that, vide the Finance Act, 2006, a proviso was inserted in section 10(38) of the Act, with effect from April 1, 2007, and prior to the insertion of the aforesaid proviso under section 10(38) of the Act, the long-term capital gains on shares was not required to be included while determ .....
