If it is done in the course of business, then, it will fall under PGBP only. To determine the same we need to have all the facts related to the case.

Dear Sir, I know the definition of "Capital Asset" and "Transfer". That's why I am saying so. Can you prove how its not capital gain?

Loss from debt factoring generally falls under the **Profit and Gains of Business or Profession (PGBP)** head rather than **Capital Gains**. Here’s why:
### **1. **Nature of Debt Factoring:**
- **Debt Factoring** involves selling a company's receivables (debts) to a third party (a factor) at a discount. This is primarily a business activity.
- The loss incurred in debt factoring is related to the business's operational activities rather than the sale of a capital asset.
### **2. **Classification under Income Tax Act:**
- **PGBP:** If you are involved in debt factoring as part of your business, any profit or loss arising from this activity is classified under PGBP. This includes losses due to selling receivables at a discount.
- **Capital Gains:** This head is applicable to profits or losses arising from the sale of capital assets like property, shares, or securities.
### **3. **Tax Treatment:**
- Losses from business activities such as debt factoring are treated as **business losses** and are allowed to be set off against other business income under PGBP.
- Capital losses are treated differently and can only be set off against capital gains, not against regular business income.
### **Examples for Clarity:**
- **Debt Factoring as Business Activity:** If a company that regularly engages in debt factoring incurs a loss because it sold receivables at a discount, this loss is part of its business operations and should be reported under PGBP.
- **Capital Gain Example:** If an individual sells a long-term investment like shares or real estate and makes a profit or loss, it falls under Capital Gains.
### **References from Income Tax Act:**
- **Section 28:** Lists various types of income that are considered under the head PGBP, including profits from any business or profession.
- **Section 45:** Deals with Capital Gains, which specifically refers to income arising from the transfer of capital assets.
**Summary:**
Losses from debt factoring should be categorized under PGBP since it pertains to business operations rather than the sale of capital assets.
