hello
as per amendment now stt is allowable expense while computing income in p/g/b/p
as for as capital gain is concerned then it will not add in purchases nd not deducted in sales....so no allowance

i think u got confused in capital gain answer......
actually there is a provision that if u r buying equity then stt will not add in purchase amount
suppose u buy a share 4 rs 100 nd stt is .30 paisa then u will show ur purchase price rs 100 nd not 100.30
now if u sell the same it will not deuct 4m selling price .... suppose u sell at 149.50 , stt is .50 ..... now ur selling price will b 150...
got it
