BESIDES INCOME FROM PENSION, RENTS, INTRADAY TRADING PROFITS , I GET STCG on sale of shares post delivery. Income tax demanded on STCG is 15% . Can I claim STT, BROKERAGE , D.P charges ETC as deductions and pay tax on net ? Is there any provision to deduct these expenses say LIKE under sec 48 and show the netted STCG AFTER THESE EXPENSES?
Yes, you can claim the expenses related to transfer as per Section 48 of the Income-tax Act. However, you cannot claim STT as this section specifically excludes any sum paid on account of securities transaction tax.
The tax shall be calculated on the net amount.

Hello @sanjaysapra ,
As an investor having STCG from sale of shares, you are eligible to claim all the expenses which are related to transfer of shares.
However, STT paid on transfer of equity shares isn’t allowed as a deduction while calculating the gains as it is specifically excluded. You can refer the below guide for complete information on Capital Gains.
Hope it helps!

Trust me It is really helpful.
hi ! zerodha tax p&l does not give split up of expenses other than STT segregated into STCG and intraday. How to proceed in this case?
In Zerodha Tax PnL report, charges are given in each segments like Equity, Mutual Funds, F&O, Currency, Commodity etc.
Further, charges are bifurcated in brokerage, STT, Turnover fees, Stamp duty, GST etc for tax payer’s perusal.
Hope, it helps!
