India has seen a substantial increase in Securities Transaction Tax (STT) collections for the current financial year. As of September 17, 2026, STT revenue reached Rs 40,214.36 crore, a significant 52.9% jump from Rs 26,305.72 crore collected in the same period last year. This surge makes STT a strong contributor to the overall growth in direct tax collections, which also rose by 15.19%. Notably, no STT refunds were reported, meaning the gross collections directly reflect the net figures.
