Having considered the relevant provisions of law and the DTAA
as well as the facts attending to the case, we are of the
considered opinion that the stand taken by the assessing officer
is legally correct. Because, what we are dealing with is 'capital
gains', which would certainly include losses from the same set of
asset. Here, the underlying assets are equity shares. We do not
agree with the approach of the assessee where transactions of
share are given different treatment, one under the DTAA and the
other under the provisions of the Act. In our considered opinion,
the assessee needs to select between the DTAA and the
provisions of Act, and then accordingly both gains and losses are
to be taken together for the chosen treatment. We find that the
Hon'ble SC in the case of M.S.P. Nadar Sons vs. CIT (Central),
Madras 1994 AIR 1298/1993 SCR (3) 446, held that the amount
of 'capital gains' during the relevant previous year means the
profits derived minus the losses suffered.
