Stock Investment FAQs
What is the difference between short-term and long-term capital gains?
In India, stocks held for less than 1 year are considered short-term and taxed at 15%. Stocks held for 1 year or more are long-term with 10% tax on gains above ₹1 lakh.
How are brokerage charges calculated?
Brokerage is typically a percentage of the total trade value (buy + sell). Most brokers charge between 0.1% to 0.5% per trade, plus GST and other statutory charges.
What is Securities Transaction Tax (STT)?
STT is a tax levied on every stock transaction. For equity delivery trades, it's 0.1% on the sell side only. For intraday trades, it's 0.025% on both buy and sell.
How can I reduce my tax liability on stock investments?
Hold stocks for over 1 year to qualify for long-term capital gains benefits, use tax-loss harvesting, and consider equity-linked savings schemes (ELSS) for additional deductions.
