If the securities are held as investments and frequency of transaction is less, the profit or less will have to be considered under the head capital gains.
On the other hand if securities are frequently bought and sold the gain or loss will be booked under the head income from business.
If the transaction is not delivery based, in the case of shares, ie., intra day trading, the gain or loss is speculative.
But in the case of futures and options, though there is no delivery, the profit or loss is non-speculative vide proviso(d) to section 43(5) of the Income tax Act,1961.

Is it neccesary to divide such income into bussiness & capital gains head of income

There is no hard and fast rules to distinguish whether share transaction is business income or capital gains. May be judged how a common man view the issue considering the following situations.
The period of holding, the frequency of transactions, the motive of the transactions, the entries in the books, the infrastructure deployed , nature of systems monitoring, the source of funds etc.
