20 July 2010 Yes..
Business includes trading,
goods include shares & stocks,
hence buying & selling i.e. trading in shares can be considered a business.

It depends on the purpose & frequency of transactions.
If your client regularly trades in stock market with high volume of transactions & shows income as STCG, the IT Dept. can deny the claim & take it as business so as to tax it at a higher rate.
