STT
State Street Corporation
stock NYSE

For **2014**, the charges would have looked roughly like this for the same **24 lots of Nifty futures (₹3.06 crore round-trip turnover)**:
* **Brokerage:** ₹40
* **STT:** ₹1,530 (0.01% on the ₹1.53 crore sell leg)
* **Exchange Transaction Charges:** ₹530
* **Service Tax:** ₹70 (12.36% on brokerage + exchange charges)
* **SEBI & Other Charges:** ₹10–20
**Total estimated charges: ₹2,180.**
That's still **over 6× higher** than the roughly **₹354** in your current Zerodha charge slip. Most of the difference came from the much higher STT that traders paid back then.

Good thing I had STT order placed.

My problem with STT is ki yeh maa ki chut finance department iske baad ek aur bada sa gains tax legi.
