Yes.. Business includes trading, goods include shares & stocks, hence buying & selling i.e. trading in shares can be considered a business.
It depends on the purpose & frequency of transactions. If your client regularly trades in stock market with high volume of transactions & shows income as STCG, the IT Dept. can deny the claim & take it as business so as to tax it at a higher rate.
