Sec 4 is the charging section and which says " Income tax shall be charged at the rate or rates prescribed in the finance act for the relevent previous year if specif rates are not priscribed in the Income Tax Act 1961". hence for STCG in question taxable at the rate or rates prescribed in the finance act if specific rate is not priscribed in the Income Tax act.
