The tribunal noted the assessee maintained separate accounts for investment and trading, with the AO accepting investor status in previous assessment years. Despite large transaction volumes across 16 scrips, the tribunal found that volume alone cannot determine investment versus trading classification. Key factors supporting investor status included: no borrowed funds used, delivery-based purchases, and consistent treatment in earlier years.
