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.

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.
