STT

Why do you think they won't?
STT was supposedly to be a replacement for LTCG.
Then we got both STT and LTCG (10%)
Then it increased to 12.5%
STCG similarly increased from 10% to 15% to 20%
Why do you think coming years will be different?

Just to remove gamblers from the market, STT itna badha diya, jo log chup chap padh likh ke kar rahe the unka profit khayenge ab, fuck this govt gunde chor kahike

"STT Hike? 0.15% Options Tax? NIFTY DOESN'T CARE! 🚀 400+ Point Recovery while Bears were busy crying. Price Action > News. 💎🙌"

The STT part was not clearly audible to me,I thought he said the husband goes around giving STD.I was mortified.

STT will impact only F&O traders. Not investors. "Investment" and "Trading" are two vastly different things.

im asking seriously, I only know about STT hike.

You forgot that the husband trades in the morning, pays STT and ultimately the money comes back to the govt.

Simply the FM discouraged F&O traders by increasing STT. Other than this there are many but related to the stock market and trading this is the big thing. STT increased by 50%.

STT applies on trading, not investments.

Stop overreacting. Only Derivative gambling is getting hit with STT increase.

I wish there was a clown award.
Buying and selling SGBs on secondary is already taxed like capital gains Mr buffoon, what was tax free was buying in secondary but instead of selling, you hold on till maturity and redeem it from RBI directly.
The new law made the latter also taxable, which is despite the fact brokers, RBI itself had been saying that if you hold till maturity it will be tax free.
Additionally, SGBs aren’t being issued, so for a lot of people without new SGBs being issued, the only option was to buy from secondary and hold till maturity.
Although STT tax was bad policy, for propaganda fueled idiots like you, I think it’s a great step, you’re a living incarnation of that two beggar meme where it says “modi ji ne kiya hoga toh soch samajh ke kiya hoga”

Does government NOT want people of india to invest?? They want to tax every aspect of our life, how is this different from feudal lords? India charges STT even on losses, High brokerage, stamp duty, SEBi fees, dividend tax. This is ridiculous. What guarantee does govt give that it won't double the LTCG next year or introduce new taxes? Can govt not make of it's own anymore?

IMC India is also shit only, moreover they are fucked now after the STT changes. IMC is primarily a Options market maker.

I put together a small STT calculator to sanity-check my own trades.
Happy to share if useful.

**Nifty 50** staged a powerful post-budget recovery, closing at **25,079.85 (+254.40 pts / +1.02%)**. This session was a textbook validation of the **"STT Hike FPI short cover"** thesis proposed during market hours, as the index surged over 400 points from its morning lows.
**Price Action:**
* **The "Margin Trap" Execution:** As proposed, Nifty dipped to a morning low of **24,679**. This was the peak of the "STT Shock," but it acted as a trigger for your thesis.
* **The Thesis in Action:** The core thesis was that **FIIs would cover their shorts well before the April 1st STT hike implementation** to manage their thin margins. Today’s 400-point recovery from the lows was the first sign of this "Pre-April Exit."
* **The V-Recovery:** Once the 24,700–24,800 zone was tested, the short-covering was relentless. Nifty reclaimed **25,000** with ease as sellers were forced to buy back positions to protect their remaining margins.
* **Closing Strength:** Closing above **25,050** confirms that the "Bear Trap" worked. The market has effectively rejected the budget-day panic.
**Key Drivers**
* **Value Buying & Rupee Recovery:** The **Indian Rupee gained 37 paise to 91.56** against the USD today. This sharp recovery from the 92.02 lows provided the macro stability. This led to massive **value buying** in heavyweights like **Axis Bank (+5.1%)** and **ICICI Bank (+1.8%)**, which were unfairly hammered during the budget session.
* **Institutional Pivot:** While retail was panicking about STT, Big Money shifted focus back to the **₹12.2 Lakh Crore Capex** outlay. Heavyweights in Infra and Banking saw a sharp "Value Buy" response.
* **The Data Verdict:** Today's **FII Cash and Index Future data release** will be the final confirmation. If the "Index Future Short" count has dropped significantly, it proves the thesis was the primary engine behind today's bounce.
**Levels for Tomorrow (3 Feb)**
**Resistance:**
* **25,150 - 25,180** (Immediate hurdle—today's high)
* **25,350** (Gap-fill zone from Budget Day)
* **25,450-25,500** (Major trend reversal zone)
**Support:**
* **24,950 - 24,900** (New immediate base)
* **24,680** (Today's "Margin Trap" low)
* **24,530-24,580** (Next structural support)
**The Strategy: Data-Driven Moves**
**🎯 View:** Nifty is trapping us like the past 2 months: 1 week recovery, new highs then a whole month downward trend.
**The Plan:** Watch the FII Index Future net positions for today. If the "Short" count has dropped significantly, expect Nifty to target **25,400** quickly.
**Volatility Check:** India VIX cooled toward **13.87** today, suggesting the initial "Budget Shock" is being priced in and systemic fear is receding.

Absolutely. However, there's an indirect impact. Cash and F&O segments are not independent. They are two limbs of the market ecosystem. Volume moderation in F&O also impacts cash market and vice versa.
We are all talking about a very specific aspect of STT increase. India, world and entire humanity have survived much disastrous events. If someone just stops investing here, what happened to entire gyaan one has obtained by scrolling finfluencer channels all throughout 2020-present. THIS IS WHAT THEY KEEP ON SHOUTING KI DON'T WITHDRAW IN THIS SITUATIONS, INSTEAD YOU SHOULD INVEST MORE. Sounds motivational at that time, but everyone can't follow when they face it in reality.
Not just us, past generations, past to past generations, everyone succumbs to this.

Bhai isko recover karne me saal lagenge to fir Kyu itna risk lia. STT ap jaise logo ke liye hi badhaya hai

With the recent increase in Securities Transaction Tax (STT), I’m wondering what the real impact will be.
