STT on futures and options was raised in Budget 2026 (futures 0.02% → 0.05%, options 0.1% → 0.15%) from 1 April 2026. If an in-the-money option is exercised at expiry, STT is 0.15% of its intrinsic value instead.

How the charges add up

STT (securities transaction tax) goes to the government; on intraday, futures and options it is charged only on the sell side. Exchange transaction charges go to NSE or BSE. Stamp duty is charged on the buy side only. GST is 18% of brokerage, exchange charges and the SEBI fee — not of the trade value. In options, every charge except brokerage is worked out on the premium, which is why STT is often the largest cost for option sellers.
