My total income after 80C, 80D, 80TTA, deduction will be less than 5 lakhs. If I have a small STCG from sale of shares within this 5 lakhs do I still have to pay 15% tax on it.

Thanks

yes 15 percent applicable

1. According to sec 111A, STCG on sale of shares on which STT is paid will be taxed @ 15%. 
2. The unexhausted basic exemption limit if any will be exhausted on the above gains and the balance amount will be subject to tax @ 15%. 
3. In the above case, if the shares have suffered STT, then it will be taxed u/s 111A @ 15%. 
Please correct me if the above solution has an alternative view.
