STT Is Bleeding Indian Traders Dry – Let’s Stand Together!

Dear Fellow Traders,

It’s time we stand together against one of the biggest silent burdens on Indian traders — the Securities Transaction Tax (STT).

Every day, retail and professional traders lose a significant part of their profits — not to market risk, but to unfairly high transaction taxes. STT was introduced to bring transparency, but today it has become a revenue drain that discourages participation and hurts liquidity.

No other major market taxes trades this heavily. We are taxed on entry, taxed on exit, and taxed again on profit — this is not sustainable for a healthy trading ecosystem.

Let’s unite our voices and appeal to the Finance Ministry and SEBI to reconsider and rationalize STT.

:loudspeaker: Join the movement. Share your story. Tag your broker, tag your finance leaders. Use the hashtag #ReduceSTT #TraderUnity #FairMarketsIndia.

Let’s make it clear — Indian traders deserve fair treatment, not financial bleeding.
