Hello,

My query is as follows

Stock Purchase Price                  : Rs 1,000

Brokarage Charge (inc STT)      : Rs      10

Total Cost of Purchase               : Rs 1,010

--------------------------------------------------------------

Stock Sold at Price                     : Rs 1,500

Brokarage Charge (inc STT)    : Rs      15

Total Receipt on Sale(1500 - 15): Rs 1,485

----------------------------------------------------------------

Thus my question is, assuming I sold the stock before 1 year, do i pay tax on (1485 - 1010) or is it (1500 - 1000). As is should i remove the brokarage + STT and then calculate net gain as taxable income? Please advice
