On examining the magnitude, frequency, continuity, and volume of the share transactions, the court held that the dominant intention was trading for profit, not investment for earning dividends. Consequently, the resulting profits were taxable as business income and not as short-term capital gains under section 111A.

The assessee's appeals were dismissed. en-us Wed, 27 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 02 Dec 2025 12:54:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=211235 The HC upheld the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal's finding that the assessee's shareholdings constituted stock-in-trade rather than capital assets.
