24 November 2008 If i transfer my all equity shares to portfolio wherein such shares are traded by Portfolio Managers.
I don't have any other business income. what shall be the nature of profit/loss which i have earned through portfolio?(either capital gain /loss or business income/loss).
please reply me with reasons.
