Quick Summary
When calculating Short Term Capital Gains (STCG) on listed equity shares for income tax purposes, the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) method is the acceptable approach. This method is outlined in Section 45(2A) of the Income Tax Act. If Securities Transaction Tax (STT) has been paid, STCG is taxed at a rate of 15% under Section 111A.

For computing STCG on listed equity shares FIFO method is used (You can refer Sec 45(2A)). STCG @ 15% if STT is paid, shall be taxed u/s 111A.
Thank you Sir
