If income is earned through rendering of consultancy services in respect of Portfolio Management then it shall be taxable under the business and profession head.However income from securities will individually depend on the nature of the income ie. Revenue or Capital and the provisions of the income tax act that relate to that security which may be shares or debentures or units of a mutual fund etc.
