Brokerage ,STT and other charges_Capital gains

This query is : Resolved 

02 September 2025 Hi,

While computing capital gains on sale of shares which expenses can be reduced from sale consideration of shares?

Also same charges paid while purchase of shares can also be added to cost of acquisition?

Pls advice

Regards,

03 September 2025 Brokerage, commission, and service charges paid at the time of sale can reduce the sale consideration.
Stamp duty and similar transaction costs at the time of sale are also deductible.
Exchange levy is allowed as a deductible, but Securities Transaction Tax (STT) and annual maintenance charge (AMC) for demat accounts are not allowed as deductions.
Purchase-related expenses (brokerage, stamp duty, registration fee, transfer charges) incurred while acquiring shares can be added to the original cost of shares, enhancing the cost of acquisition for capital gains computation.

20 September 2025 Good Luck..
