Quick Summary
A client sold shares for a consideration of 1.20 crore rupees, with the majority being short-term gains resulting in a net profit of 5.6 lakhs. The core question is whether a tax audit is applicable. If treated as capital gains from a personal investment, no audit is typically required, regardless of the sale value. However, if considered business income, an audit may become mandatory.

Consider under capital gain .No Audit is required..

If you consider it under business then you may have to get the accounts audited ..
Applicability of audit solely depends upon the head in which income is offered to tax.
Is it business income for you ?

There's no need for an audit if this is a personal investment, regardless of the value.
