Dear Vishal, If you are talking about last year, exempyion limit was 110000. As per IT act you can reduce your STCG amount from your income upto your exemption limit. So for rest 40000 you have to pay tax and according to sec 88 E you can get rebate for STT paid.

To avail rebate u/s 88E, income from securities have to be treated as business income in total income computation. If you are offering as STCG, then you can't claim STT.
