Capital Gain STCG

This discussion clarifies the calculation of Short Term Capital Gains (STCG) on share investments. It highlights that only net sale consideration should be used, and brokerage on buying shares is not an allowable expense for STCG calculation. The correct method involves deducting the purchase price (including buying expenses) from the sale price (less selling expenses). It also mentions the grandfathering clause for shares bought before 31 January 2018.
