Share Trading Gains as Business Income, Not Investments; Deduction Allowed for Manufacturing Unit Location; Milk Purchase Disallowance Overturned.

July 26, 2024

Case Laws     Income Tax     AT

The assessee's short-term capital gains from share trading were rightly treated as business income. Mere mention of shares as investments does not grant benefit under Circular No.4 of 2007. Separate account maintenance, delivery-based transactions, and acceptance of capital gains in preceding years were not sufficient to establish share trading as investments. The assessee was eligible for deduction u/s 80IC as the manufacturing unit was located in a notified area, fulfilling conditions. Disallowance of 20% of milk purchases was unjustified as expenses were duly debited, and net profit ratio was considered for assessment in subsequent years. The Tribunal allowed the assessee's claim, finding no justification for discrediting purchases on an ad hoc basis.
