If a person is not having speculative gains (intra day trading) or business gains (F&O), but only gets gains from stock taken delivery the same should be treated as STCG and charged at 15% correct?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax treatment of profits made from stocks purchased and held for delivery. It confirms that such gains are classified as Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG). Furthermore, it explains that the applicable tax rate for STCG on delivery-based stock sales is 15%, provided that Securities Transaction Tax (STT) was paid upon the sale of the shares.

Yes capital gains will arise
1.STCG @ 15% if in previous years also shares sold were taken as capital gains and not business income.

Yes, STCG, but @ 15% only if STT paid on sale.
