13 September 2018 Dear Experts

I hold some Equity share as Investment in my books of Account as on 31-3-17, now in FY 17-18 I have profit from the Selling those stock and other income also.

If I want to go STCG then Tax liability is much.
So my Consultant suggest that we will Consider these stock as Business Income.

So my question is that, is this proper as Income Tax ?

can we consider stock of Equtiy Share holding as investment.

Any valuation change as on 1-4-17 or Invest price.

Kindly do the advice me.
