In case of a trader in Shares, STT can be claimed as an expense like service tax and other share transaction expenses.
If the net result of intra-day is loss/profit, show it as speculation loss/profit in the return of income under the head PGBP.
Please note that in case in trading if there is a loss, it can be set off against speculation profit but when situation is reversed set off is not allowed.
