What do you mean by STT(Security Transaction Tax) & Which type of share STT paid?
17 June 2013
Securities Transaction Tax (or STT in short), is the tax deduction that is applied to all your equity transactions. Introduced in the 2004 Union Budget by the then Finance Minister Mr. P Chidambaram, the deduction is to ensure that gains arising from securities transaction are taxed at source, thus preventing individuals from evading capital gains tax.
17 June 2013
Securities Transaction Tax is levied on every purchase or sale of securities that are listed on the Indian Stock Exchange. This would include shares, derivatives or equity-oriented mutual funds units. The rate of tax that is deducted is determined by the central government, and it varies with different types of transactions and securities. Deducted at source by the broker or AMC, at the time of the transaction itself, the net result is that it pushes up the cost of the transaction done.

On every online purchase and sale of shares of securities STT is to be paid.
