There are many factors which decides whether the purchase/ sell of stocks, securities is business income of assessee or capital receipts. For example, quantum of purchase/sell, frequency of purchase/sell, period of holding, intention of the assessee while purchasing the shares as to whether the same was acquired for holding as investment or for doing business therein, the treatment given by the assessee in its books of accounts etc. If the above transaction explained by you is an isolated transaction i.e. no other transactions of similar nature entered by you then definately it will be treated as capital loss.
