A resident individual can adjust the basic exemption limit against STCG covered u/s 111A. Firstly, income other than STCG is to be adjusted against the exemption limit and then the remaining limit (if any) can be adjusted against STCG.
.
15% X [STCG – (Exempted ceiling – Total income excluding STCG)]
.
Hence, if the gain gets adjusted against the balance exemption limit, tax liability will be NIL.
.
[The above position is applicable in case such transactions are for the purposes of investment and income/loss arising therefrom is to be computed under the head CG.]
