STT (Securities Transaction Tax) is a direct tax levied by the Government of India on stock transactions. It's collected by the exchange. For delivery trades: 0.1% on both sides. For intraday: 0.025% only on the sell side. For F&O (options sell): 0.0625% on premium.
How do charges differ between intraday and delivery?+
Intraday: lower STT (0.025% sell side only), brokerage typically ₹20 per order, stamp duty 0.003%. Delivery: higher STT (0.1% on both sides), zero brokerage at most discount brokers, stamp duty 0.015%. For small quantities, intraday can be cheaper in total charges.
Is brokerage included in this calculator?+
For delivery trades, brokerage is set to ₹0 (as offered by Zerodha, Groww, Upstox, etc.). For intraday, a flat ₹20 per order is used. If your broker charges differently (e.g., percentage-based), add the actual brokerage to the calculated charges manually.
