It is not always necessary that the income from Share Transactions has to be shown as B&P income.

It depends upon the manner in which the assessee deals. Suppose he purchases 500 shares and keeps it for 1 month or more. It can be said as an investment activity.

If he regularly makes high value transactions, in compare to his investment, and frequently deals in number of scrips, then the activity may be treated as Trading Activity.

The same thing applies here.

If the shares are kept with the intention of investment, capital gains can be shown on sale.
