Can you be absolutely sure that your client has entered into a one time transaction, or is there scope to make it income from Business? That is a way out.
Given that he has held the flat for less than 3 months, there is ample scope for bending the law without breaking it. Please gauge the intention of his transactions to ascertain the true nature of the head of income. Does he just buy and sell property?
