I just want to ask, whether an assessee who has income as short term capital gain on share trading is subject to 15% tax..? If he has no other income even no interest income at all.

In my opinion, if the assessee has no other income, then income earned on share trading can be treated as business income and will be exempt upto basic exemption limit.

Yes Sir it can be. but historical treatment of such income by the assessee and other factors such as the intent, frequency and nature of transactions etc shall play important role in determining the taxation of the income
