of <h1>Appeal on Bifurcation of Income: Investor vs. Trader Status Unclear</h1> <h3>ACIT, B.K. Circle, Palanpur Versus Smt. Alkaben Vasantlal Vora, Deesa</h3> ACIT, B.K. Circle, Palanpur Versus Smt. Alkaben Vasantlal Vora, Deesa - TMI Issues involved: Determination of income from business and income from capital gains u/s 2008-09 assessment year.The appeal was filed by the Revenue against the order of the ld. CIT(A)-IV, Surat dated 24.03.2011, challenging the direction to bifurcate and recalculate the income from business and income from capital gains. The assessee, engaged in trading of diamonds, also transacted in sale and purchase of shares, showing short term capital gain and long term capital gain from share transactions. The AO treated these gains as business income. The CIT(A) directed the AO to recalculate the income, considering the holding period of shares as a determining factor. The CIT(A) observed that the nature and volume of share transactions indicated a profit-earning motive, yet acknowledged the presence of capital gains in some transactions.The CIT(A) decision was based on the holding period of shares, where shares held for more than 30 days were considered investments, and those held for less than 30 days were treated as business income. However, the finding was deemed contradictory as it labeled the assessee both as a non-investor and a trader in shares. The Tribunal found the CIT(A) decision unclear and directed a reevaluation, emphasizing the necessity for a clear determination based on whether the assessee is an investor or a trader. The matter was remanded to the CIT(A) for a definitive decision in accordance with the law, ensuring a fair opportunity for both parties to present their case.In conclusion, the appeal by the Revenue was allowed for statistical purposes, with the Tribunal highlighting the need for a clear and fact-based determination of the assessee's status as an investor or trader in shares for the appropriate assessment of income under the relevant heads.
