If the shares which are sold after the period of 1 year then it will attract LTCG which is exempted if STT is paid on it, Whereas in case of STCG , no exemption is available and 20 % is specifically charged as income tax that too without the exemption tax slab whichever is applicable.

STT can be allowed as deduction u/s 36 provided the income arising from such security on whom STT was charged is considered in PGBP.
