Hi kamal,
Its not the income but the nature of operation that decide assessmernt under CG or PGBP
If income is earnrd with full time devotion of time , used professional skills and judgement it will be PGBP ..if not its CG only.
No transaction does not amount to profession .....because if u go reverse way .........not tentering into any trade transaction does not mean u r not a professonal.
Concluding its nature of ur operation and use of professional skills makes its income from PGBP or else it is CG only
