(1) Where the owner of any securities sells or transfers those securities and buys them back or reacquires them, or buys or acquires similar securities, and the result of the transactions is that any interest becoming payable in respect of the original securities sold or transferred by the owner is not receivable by the owner, the interest payable as aforesaid shall be deemed, for all purposes of this Act, to be the income of such owner and not of any other person, whether the interest payable as aforesaid would or would not have been chargeable to tax apart from the provisions of this sub-section.

(2) Where any person has had for any period during an income year any beneficial interest in any securities and the result of any transactions, within that year relating to such securities or the income thereof is that no income is received by him, or that the income received by him is less than the sum which the income would have amounted to had the income from such securities accrued from day to day, and been apportioned to the said period, then the income from such securities for the said period shall be deemed to be the income of such person.

(3) Where, any person carrying on a business which consists wholly or partly in dealing in securities buys or acquires any securities from any other person and either sells back or retransfers those securities, or sells or transfers similar securities, to such other person, and the result of the transactions is that the interest becoming payable in respect of the securities bought or acquired by him is receivable by him but is not deemed to be his income by reason of the provisions of sub-section (I), no account shall be taken of the transactions in computing for any of the purposes of this Act any income arising from, or loss sustained in, the business.

(4) The Deputy Commissioner of Taxes may, by notice in writing, require any person to furnish him, within such time, not being less than 28 (twentyeight) days, as may be specified in the notice, such particulars in respect of all securities of which such person was the owner, or in which he had beneficial interest at any time during the period specified in the notice, as the Deputy Commissioner of Taxes may consider necessary for the purpose of ascertaining whether tax has been borne in respect of the interest on all those securities and also for other purposes of this section.

(5) For the purposes of this section,—

(a) “interest” includes dividend; and

(b) securities shall be deemed to be similar if they entitle their holders to the same right against the same persons as to capital and interest and the same remedies for the enforcement of these rights, notwithstanding any difference in the total nominal amounts of the respective securities or in the form in, which they are held or in the manner in which they can be transferred.
