ITAT adjudicated a tax dispute regarding property transactions, determining that the assessee's repeated property purchases and sales constituted business income. The tribunal interpreted 'business' broadly, encompassing activities with trade-like characteristics. Relying on precedential jurisprudence, the court established that consistent property transactions with profit-making intent qualify as commercial activity. Consequently, the tribunal upheld the lower appellate authority's classification of property sale profits as business income, dismissing the assessee's appeal and affirming the original assessment.
