NSE STT Calculator
Calculate the Securities Transaction Tax (STT) on your trades as per the latest government regulations.
What is Securities Transaction Tax (STT)?
STT is a direct tax levied on every purchase and sale of securities that are listed on the stock exchanges in India. It was introduced in 2004 to reduce tax evasion on capital gains.
New STT Rates (Effective Oct 1, 2024)
Following the Union Budget 2024, the government has increased the STT rates on derivatives to discourage excessive speculation:
- Equity Delivery: 0.1% on both Buy and Sell sides.
- Equity Intraday: 0.025% on the Sell side only.
- Sale of Futures: Increased to 0.02% (from 0.0125%).
- Sale of Options: Increased to 0.1% of Option Premium (from 0.0625%).
Did You Know?
Unlike other business expenses, STT paid on your trades cannot be deducted as an expense from your capital gains tax. It is a mandatory statutory levy that applies regardless of whether you make a profit or a loss.
