Thus, the profit earned from the transaction is liable to be treated as business income. However, on appeal, CIT(A) decided the matter in the favour of the Assessee and allowed the amount of profit to be treated as capital gain. Being aggrieved, Revenue approached the present Tribunal. <br><br> The present bench found that the CIT(A) after applying proposition of law laid down by Bombay High Court in the case of Gopal Purohit and applying CBDT Circular No.4/2007 dated 15/06/2007 held that profits on sale of shares were liable to taxed under the head capital gains and dismissed the appeal after ruling that profit declared by the Assessee was correctly treated by CIT (A) as capital gain liable to be taxed under the head Capital Gains.</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong></strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong>Tags : Capital Gains, Sale of shares</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"> </td> </tr> <tr> <!--<td><strong>Source : <a target="_new" href="http://www.manupatrafast.com/">newsroom.manupatra.com</a></strong></td>--> <td align="left" valign="top"><strong>Source : newsroom.manupatra.com</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top">Regards</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top">Team Manupatra</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body> </html>
