Re : Short capital gain on stocks trading


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax treatment of profits from stock trading for individuals with salary income. Short-term capital gains from intraday trading are classified as speculative business income, allowing for expense deductions. Delivery-based trading falls under capital gains, where expense claims are generally restricted. The impact of Securities Transaction Tax (STT) is also briefly touched upon.
