Dear All

I am preparing a table of Tax rate s for Indian resident on his/her worldwide investment income. Experts, can you please comments, if it is correct?  One of the questions is, can you take indexation benefit for STCG, where purchase and sell are in different financial years? Also, please add to this table as well.
