Till AY 08-09 , STT was allowed as rebate against Tax liability u/s 88E only for normal trader/investor with income from share trading under the head " Business Income". But vide an amendment effective from April 1st,08, all STT paid will be allowed as expenditure against the income from share trading. Hence, in your case, u can claim refund against STT only upto AY 08-09 u/s section 88E.
