Normally, trading of shares is to earn the profits by purchase and sale of shares and hence the trading company doesn't hold the shares for longer period.If you have such two portfolio i.e one for frequently purchase and sales of shares ,and second is to hold the shares for more than 12 months ,then you may bifurcate the income arising out of trading and out of investment.
Accordingly, if you hold the share for more than 12 months then that would attract the income tax under head Capital gain.
