Securities Transaction Tax (STT)

A central-government tax on securities trades.

STT is levied on both legs for delivery (0.1% each), on the sell leg for intraday (0.025%) and futures (0.05%), and on the sell leg of options (0.15% of premium). It is non-negotiable and identical across every broker.
