Expenses allowed on ltcg/stcg on shares

In share trading there are various charges like brokerage, stt, gst, stamp duty, exchange fee, sebi turnover fee etc. So while calculating long/ short term capital gain from listed shares what are the charges from above list can claimed as a expenses or deductions when share trading is  not  done as business. I will be very much grateful if somebody will guide me on this.
and what is income tax law for this in section 48(i) I did not found any info on this.

In the case of sale of shares, you may be allowed to deduct these expenses:

a. Broker’s commission related to the shares sold

b. STT or securities transaction tax is not allowed as a deductible expense

Only STT or securities transaction tax is not allowed for capital gains, otherwise all other expenses incurred to earn the gain are deductible.
 

agree with Ms. neha and Mr. pankaj
