The ITAT allowed the appellant's appeal, holding that the consideration received on sale of shares constituted capital gains rather than business income; s.28(va) did not apply because no distinct non-compete consideration was allocated and the vendor was not engaged in the target company's business. The Tribunal relied on family-transaction parity and precedent treating similar transfers as capital gains. The AO was directed to compute long-term capital gain on the aggregate sale consideration of Rs. 18.42 crore (12389 shares × Rs.14,869), to verify entitlement to deductions under ss.54F and 54EC and any set-off of capital losses, and to grant relief in accordance with law. Appeal allowed.
