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.
