31 July 2010 Fact of the cases
Claiming exemption u/s 10 (38) for LTCG

Provisio

If the transaction is subject to STT at both the time of purchase aswell as sales LTCG will be exempted from LTCG.

Whereas STCG will bear a concessional rate of tax u/s 111A if STT has been paid at the time of both sales and purchase
