No,shares are deemed as a capital asset even if you are dealing as a trading activity,therefore ,gain or loss will be Stcg/ltcg or stcl/ltcl.However,while calculating cap gain you can add stt ,brokerage and other levies on purchase to purch cost.similarly,you can deduct such exps on sale from sale proceeds.hope its fine.

If the assessee is holding the shares by way of investment, then the same shold be considered under the Head Capital Gains.

however if the assessee is dealing in shares then that would be considered as his business income.  however the business loss can't be set-off against salary income.
