style=\"margin:0\"><strong style=\"color:#1B2133\">Delivery is taxed twice. Intraday is taxed once, at a quarter of the rate.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\">STT on delivery trading is 0.1% of the transaction value on the purchase and 0.1% again on the sale, which makes equity delivery the only segment where the buyer is routinely taxed. On a \u20b91,00,000 round trip that is \u20b9100 each way, \u20b9200 in total.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\">STT on intraday trading is 0.025% and applies to the sale alone. The same \u20b91,00,000 turned over intraday attracts \u20b925, because the buy leg is not taxed and the rate is a quarter of the delivery rate.

Sell ten lots of a Nifty option at a premium of \u20b9100 with a lot of 65 and the premium value is \u20b965,000, so STT is \u20b997.50. The STT rate on equity futures works the same way at 0.05%, charged on traded price rather than premium.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\">The exercise row is the one worth knowing. STT on option exercise is charged at 0.15% of intrinsic value and, uniquely, the purchaser pays it. Let an in-the-money option run to expiry instead of squaring it off and the charge lands on you as the buyer, not on the writer. The charge is small on a small position, but it is a line most traders have never seen explained.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"margin:8px 0;display:flex;flex-direction:column;gap:10px\">\n<div style=\"width:100%;aspect-ratio:960\/540;border-radius:14px;overflow:hidden;background:#FFFFFF\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 960 540\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Option STT: 0.15% of premium paid by the seller when sold; 0.15% of intrinsic value paid by the purchaser when exercised\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:14px;border:1px solid #E3E6EF;box-sizing:border-box\"><title>Option STT: 0.15% of premium paid by the seller when sold; 0.15% of intrinsic value paid by the purchaser when exercised<\/title><path d=\"M0 0H960V540H0Z\" fill=\"#FFFFFF\" style=\"fill:#FFFFFF\"\/><text x=\"60\" y=\"58\" font-size=\"15\" font-weight=\"800\" fill=\"#ED4D37\" letter-spacing=\"2\" style=\"fill:#ED4D37;font-family:Sora,Manrope,Arial,sans-serif\">STT ON OPTIONS<\/text><text x=\"60\" y=\"98\" font-size=\"32\" font-weight=\"800\" fill=\"#223872\" style=\"fill:#223872;font-family:Sora,Manrope,Arial,sans-serif\">Who pays, and on what<\/text><path d=\"M78 140H442A18 18 0 0 1 460 158V422A18 18 0 0 1 442 440H78A18 18 0 0 1 60 422V158A18 18 0 0 1 78 140Z\" fill=\"#F4F6FA\" style=\"fill:#F4F6FA\"\/><text x=\"90\" y=\"188\" font-size=\"16\" font-weight=\"700\" fill=\"#5A6378\" letter-spacing=\"2\" style=\"fill:#5A6378;font-family:Sora,Manrope,Arial,sans-serif\">WHEN SOLD<\/text><text x=\"90\" y=\"264\" font-size=\"60\" font-weight=\"800\" fill=\"#223872\" style=\"fill:#223872;font-family:Sora,Manrope,Arial,sans-serif\">0.15%<\/text><text x=\"90\" y=\"308\" font-size=\"20\" font-weight=\"700\" fill=\"#14204A\" style=\"fill:#14204A;font-family:Sora,Manrope,Arial,sans-serif\">of premium<\/text><text x=\"90\" y=\"360\" font-size=\"17\" font-weight=\"600\" fill=\"#5A6378\" style=\"fill:#5A6378;font-family:Manrope,Arial,sans-serif\">Paid by the<\/text><text x=\"90\" y=\"388\" font-size=\"20\" font-weight=\"800\" fill=\"#14204A\" style=\"fill:#14204A;font-family:Sora,Manrope,Arial,sans-serif\">seller<\/text><path d=\"M518 140H882A18 18 0 0 1 900 158V422A18 18 0 0 1 882 440H518A18 18 0 0 1 500 422V158A18 18 0 0 1 518 140Z\" fill=\"#14204A\" style=\"fill:#14204A\"\/><text x=\"530\" y=\"188\" font-size=\"16\" font-weight=\"700\" fill=\"#C9D1E6\" letter-spacing=\"2\" style=\"fill:#C9D1E6;font-family:Sora,Manrope,Arial,sans-serif\">WHEN EXERCISED<\/text><text x=\"530\" y=\"264\" font-size=\"60\" font-weight=\"800\" fill=\"#ED4D37\" style=\"fill:#ED4D37;font-family:Sora,Manrope,Arial,sans-serif\">0.15%<\/text><text x=\"530\" y=\"308\" font-size=\"20\" font-weight=\"700\" fill=\"#FFFFFF\" style=\"fill:#FFFFFF;font-family:Sora,Manrope,Arial,sans-serif\">of intrinsic value<\/text><text x=\"530\" y=\"360\" font-size=\"17\" font-weight=\"600\" fill=\"#C9D1E6\" style=\"fill:#C9D1E6;font-family:Manrope,Arial,sans-serif\">Paid by the<\/text><text x=\"530\" y=\"388\" font-size=\"20\" font-weight=\"800\" fill=\"#FFFFFF\" style=\"fill:#FFFFFF;font-family:Sora,Manrope,Arial,sans-serif\">purchaser<\/text><\/svg><\/div><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;line-height:1.5;color:#5A6378\">Who pays STT on an option depends on how the position ends.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<aside style=\"background:#14204A;border-radius:16px;padding:26px 28px;display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;align-items:center;justify-content:space-between;gap:18px\">\n<div style=\"flex:1 1 300px;display:flex;flex-direction:column;gap:6px\"><strong style=\"font-family:Sora,sans-serif;font-size:20px;line-height:1.35;color:#FFFFFF\">STT is the same at every broker.

Buy and sell \u20b91,00,000 of a stock on delivery and STT is \u20b9200 \u2014 \u20b9100 on each leg at 0.1%. Turn over the same \u20b91,00,000 intraday and STT is \u20b925, charged only on the sale at 0.025%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\">Now sell one lot of a Nifty option at a premium of \u20b9150 with a lot size of 65. The premium value is \u20b99,750 and STT at 0.15% is \u20b914.63 on that single leg. Buying the option back to close costs no STT, because the purchase of an option is not a taxable leg. Across a day of writing options the 0.15% compounds quietly, which is why it moved the break-even for active sellers when it rose in April 2026.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"claim\" style=\"margin:48px 0 0;font-family:Sora,sans-serif;font-size:clamp(23px,2.6vw,28px);font-weight:700;line-height:1.3;color:#223872;scroll-margin-top:24px\">Can you claim STT against tax?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin:0\"><strong style=\"color:#1B2133\">That depends on how you report the activity.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\">Where trading is reported as business income, STT is allowable as a business expense. Where gains are reported as capital gains, STT is not deductible in computing the gain, so it reduces what you receive without reducing what you are taxed on. <a href=\"https:\/\/navia.co.in\/blog\/how-to-show-stock-market-income\/?utm_source=navia_blog&amp;utm_medium=interlink&amp;utm_campaign=stt-charges-rate-table&amp;utm_content=stock-market-income-itr\">How to show stock market income in your ITR<\/a> sets out how the two routes differ.
