.... does not hold good. Further, it is an admitted fact that assessee is not owning any share in M/s Amit Capital & Securities (P) Ltd and as held by the Hon'ble Bombay High Court in the case of CIT vs. Universal Medicare Pvt. Ltd. (2010) 324 ITR 263 (Bom), provisions of section 2(22)(e) does not apply unless assessee is a share holder in the company. For both the reasons, we uphold order of CIT (A) and dismiss the grounds raised by Revenue. It is to be noted that the decision relied upon by Revenue in ground was not approved by Special Bench in the case of Bhaumik Colour Pvt. Ltd (Supra). Therefore, there is no need to consider and analyse the Coordinate Bench Decision stated in Ground No.2. The grounds are rejected. 7. Ground Nos. 3 to 6: Ground Nos. 3 to 6 raised by Revenue are as under: "3. On the facts and circumstances of the case and in law, the learned CIT (A) erred in deleting the addition of Rs.5,60,89,831/- made by the Assessing Officer by way of rejecting the books of account. 4.

....ignoring the other leg of transaction of profit in cash segment and vice versa. In respect of loss of Rs.56,03,776/- in Market to Market (M to M) margin in derivative segment, there is profit of more than this amount in cash segment. It may be noted that in case of Arbitrage activities the cash to derivative segment, the transactions are done in such way that there is exactly reverse position in another segment. For example if,'' there is buy position in cash market, there will be equal sell position/in derivative segment. In such case with the movement in price of underline scrip, there will be profit in one segment and loss in another however the profit would normally be more than loss, ultimately resulting in net profit. In view of the above facts the net loss in Market to Market cannot be segregated from the profit in cash segment and net result should be counted. iv. The figures as the Learned Income 'fax Officer has estimated is not correct since the Learned income Tax Officer has estimated the turnover on the basis of STT rate @.025 which was not applicable during the year. The rates of STT on all segments at BSE and NSE are not same as taken by the Learned Income Tax Off....

Tax Act and the same has been substantiated by the clarificatory circular of CBDT w.e.f. 25.12006 and also supported by various judicial decisions including Mumbai tribunals in the case of DCIT v/s SSSKI Investors (P) Ltd. (113 'TTJ 511) and in the case of RKB Securities (P) Ltd v/s ITO (118 TTJ 465). In view of the same it is clear that the question of treating the loss incurred, if any, in the derivative segment even till 25.1.2006, the date from which the said circular came into effect as speculative losses u/s 43(5) of the Act does not arise and the estimated profit as above taken i.e. 1% income on turnover derived by the Learned Income Tax Officer is unjustified and uncalled for and liable to be deleted". 10. After considering the submissions, CIT (A) deleted the estimation of income resorted to by Assessing Officer stating as under: 15. I have thoroughly gone through the assessment order and the submissions made by the authorized representative of the appellant.

.... Rs.31,20,337/- shown as 'other income' to tax as "Income from other sources". The CIT (A) after accepting the assessee's application did not affirm the action of the Assessing Officer by stating as under:- "I have thoroughly gone through the assessment order and the grounds of appeal submitted by the appellant. I found that the "Miscellaneous and Other Income" of Rs.21,30,337/- is nothing but the Business Income of the appellant as the assessee has earned this income by way of participating in auction market. The same cannot be treated as "Income from Other Sources" and therefore, I direct the Assessing Officer to treat the same as business income only". 17. We have perused the record and analyzed the contentions of rival parties. The details shown as "other income" are as under: "Particulars Amount in Rs IPO Referral Fee 13,02,750 Auction charges 2,69,025 Interest Received 5,58,562 There is no dispute with reference to the IPO referral fee and auction charges being part of business operations and business income.
