Quick Summary
This discussion explores the tax implications of selling shares, including business income and capital gains. A key question is whether long-term capital gains apply when shares are transferred between broking firms without an actual sale. The analysis considers factors like the original transaction method, associated costs, and whether the change in ownership constitutes a taxable transfer.

Whether the shares were transacted through exchange by earlier broking form?

Whether any stamp-duty & brokerage was levied by earlier BF?

Whether the constitute of both the demat account were same?

Since there was no sale of shares but ownership changed. SO IT AMOUNTS TO TRANSFER. SIINCE COST NOT GIVEN IT IS TRANSFER.
