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 :)
