(ii) Can I save Short Term capital Gains by showing a proprietorship Firm wherein stocks held would be shown as Stock in trade.
(iii) If no, what is the procedure of saving Short Term Capital Gain tax on Trading in Shares & Stocks.
I am also a partner of a pertnership firm which was opened in 2010.
Please assist me. My no is (+91) 8822196636. I also require a Chartered Accountant as my Trading would cross the Audit Limit. Plz assist me at the earliest.

In spite of being a partner, you may start trading in shares. Shares held can be shown as stock in trade. * It does not matter whether you are doing business in Individual name or in Proprietorship firm. * The idea to do business in a Prop. firm is better looking towards the fact that you want to show the business as trading in shares only. By doing so claim of business expenses can be justified comfortably.
