20 June 2015 dear sanjay
if shares are traded on any stock exchange the STT is paid on sale.
in such case long term capital gain is exempted from income tax u/s10(38), only short term capital gain is taxable.

Short term capital gain can be carried forward for upto 4 assessment years.

20 June 2015 just a small correction: Short term capital Loss (not gains) can be carried forward for upto next 8 assessment years

However, any speculative loss on account of trading in shares without taking delivery can be carried forward only for next 4 assessment years and be used for set-off against speculative income only.

22 June 2015 STT is security transaction tax.

When you buy or sell any shares listed on stock exchange STT is paid.
Your stock broker itself deduct the stt.
