Short term capital gain on sale of shares on which STT paid taxable at flat rate of 20%
If STT not paid, short term capital gain on sale of shares is taxable by including in computation of total income and long term capital gain on sale of shares shall be taxable at the rate of 20%

@ Vap Pate: As per first point, yes. Expert :Any comment.
Hi Vap,
If an income is exempt, u cannot set off loss against it.
In ur case, u cannot setoff short term capital loss aagainst long term gain exempt u/s 10 (38)
@ Nuli-
>>Short term capital gain on sale of shares on which STT paid taxable at flat rate of 20%
I read in multiple article that it is 15%. Will you please reconfirm?
IT is 15%.Refer sec 112 and 111A of Income Tax act 1961
yes it is 15% not 20% and as long tern capital gain on sale of shares in which STT paid is exempt,how can u set off short term capital loss with this.u can carry forward and set off against furthur short term caital gain up to 8 years
