Take for example,
Buy value : 10k
Sell Value 20k
Assuming that there is 100% profit.
This is delivery trade and NOT intraday.
STT Calculation 1
Average of buy and sell is 15k
0.01% = 15rs (all together)
or
STT calculation 2
Buy value = 10k, → STT = 10rs
Sell Value = 20K → STT = 20rs
Total STT = 10 + 20 → 30rs.
