LTCL on which STT is paid cannot be set off against any taxable income. Gain from sale of shares purchased 15 days back is treated as STCG. If STT is paid, it is taxable @ 15% as per 111A else at normal rates. However, you can claim relief as per priviso to 111A
relief = exemption limit - (net income - STCG)
