STCG from Sale of listed securities i.e, 111A are taxable at special rate (15% from AY 2009-10), whereas STCG other than 111A is taxable as per slab rate....
Then why????

Mr. Rakesh
Tax on STCG : The Provision of Sec. 111A is applicable from the A.Y. 2005-06, taxable at special rate of tax. This sec. includes 2 points
1. The capital assets i.e. equity shares or units of equity oriented mutual funds on which STT has been charged
2. No deduction is allowable under chapter VIA i.e.. u/c 80C to 80U.
Whereas other STCG on capital asset is not coming under above provisions, hence it is charged at slab rate of tax.
