Quick Summary
If you purchase shares using borrowed money, the proceeds are generally treated as capital gains, not business income. Whether it's short-term capital gains (STCG) or long-term capital gains (LTCG) depends on how long you hold the shares. Holding for less than 12 months results in STCG, while holding for longer is considered LTCG.

Treated as capital gain not as business income. If shares held less than 12 months it will be treated as STCG otherwise LTCG.
It will be treated as capital gains
Taxed under capital gains only.
