05 October 2009 Mr X, brother of Mr y holds some shares in physical form.Mr X is an NRI , but has demat a/c ( without trading facility).Mr Y has demat with trading facility , so Mr X requests Mr Y to get the shares converted in demat form & sell them in Indian Market.Mr Y performs the same for Mr Y.The entire sale proceeds of shares sold by Mr Y , is transferred by Mr Y to Mr X. Hence is it necessary for Mr Y to show this sale of shares in his return of income , as Mr Y does not file return of income due to his NRI status ?
