Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether income from selling equity shares, specifically short-term capital gains, can be declared as business income. The user is considering filing under Section 44AD, offering a presumptive income of 6% on turnover. However, concerns are raised about this being potentially controversial and the need for consistent declaration in future years. The potential for a mismatch with AIS data and the importance of transaction frequency over value are also highlighted.

'Short Term Capital Gain' ,,,, PGBP !!! Is n't it contravential? .....

I read somewhere that sale of shares can be declared as business income instead of Capital gains but we need to continue declaring sale of shares as business income in future years. My doubt is if I declare it as business income, can I file this under 44AD and offer 6% or 8% income on turnover even though i had more income in real than presumptive income

Technically, AIS reports it as STCG/LTCG. So, even if you declare it under PGBP, there will be defective notice for mismatch of data.

One has to substantiate by number of transactions and frequency of traded shares . It does not go by values .
