What if the AO treats the same as Short term capital gain ??

16 November 2012 Dear sir ,
Physical delivery is not important .when any body is holding the right of the asset then he will be treated as a owner . So in this case when he is selling after 36 months then it will definitely the LTCA .... . So the right will be treated as long term capital asset. So it will be treated as LTCG .... and the cost of acquisition should be calculated ....
