As regards the contention of the assessee that the gain that he has received from the investing activity is the capital receipt/gain and shall be chargeable to tax as capital gain only. The bench noted that the assessee is employee of the World Health Organization and doing the investing activity and found that he regular income source is salary only. This fact is accepted by the revenue that the assessee is salaried employee and has offered the capital gain in his computation of income for an amount of Rs. 49,320/-. Merely the receipt of the activity is Rs. 28,35,802/- how the applicability of presumptive taxation will apply looking the facts of the case on hand. It is also not disputed by the revenue that the assessee has not disclosed the capital gain for an amount of Rs. 49,320/-. There is no observation of the ld. AO while estimating income at 8 % that why the income offered by the assessee for an amount of Rs. 49,320/- is not correct whether it is of the income from business or profession or from the investing activity. The ld. AO also not dealt with the fact how the provision of section 44AD will apply when apparently these transactions are related investing activity. At thi .....

However, this stand, once taken by the assessee in a particular Assessment Year, shall remain applicable in subsequent Assessment Years also and the taxpayers shall not be allowed to adopt a different/contrary stand in this regard in subsequent years; (c) In all other cases, the nature of transaction (i.e. whether the same is in the nature of capital gain or business income) shall continue to be decided keeping in view the aforesaid Circulars issued by the CBDT. 4. It is, however, clarified that the above shall not apply in respect of such transactions in shares/securities where the genuineness of the transaction itself is questionable, such as bogus claims of Long Term Capital Gain/Short Term Capital Loss or any other sham transactions. 5.
