10 August 2007 The question of capital gain arises only in case of transfer of capital assets . The trader of shares , holds shares as stock in trade . By defination of capital asset in the Income Tax Act ,capital asset does not include stock in trade . As such the question of calculating capital gains , short or long , on transfer of such shares does not arise.

However,note the following explanation to section 73:
