Short term capital gain can be shown as other inc?

No, you should better to show as STCG in ITR.

Hey Riya, short term capital gain is taxed at two rates i.e. @ 15% (under section 111A) and the other rate is of normal income tax slab rates. In your case since its an IPO, so i can assume that STT has been paid on the same which means it fulfills the condition of section 111A. Therefore tax @ 15% is required to be paid.

Hence, you have to show the same under capital gains instead of other income on account of different tax liability.

Its not about being a big thing but u already knew its not right. Then u know the answer to your query and i helped you convince for the same with a reason (I hope so).

Cheers :)
