The STT is a direct tax payable on the value of taxable securities transactions done through a stock exchange. It is levied at 0.1 per cent of turnover for delivery-based equity transactions, while for intra-day transactions, the STT for purchase is nil. For sale, it is 0.025 per cent of the turnover.
Collections already stand at Rs 12K crore, compared to Budget target of Rs 12.5K crore by September itself on the back of increased retail participation in the stock market. The collection for the corresponding period last year stood at 8,000 crore and 6,000 crore the year before.
“The market is overheated and the positive sentiment around economic recovery is aiding higher-than-expected revenues. The announcements such as bad bank, relief package for the telecom industry and production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for the auto sector are all positives,” said a government official.
Rakesh Nangia, chairman, Nangia Anderson India, said there has been a massive inflow of funds into the capital market by all classes of investors, resulting in a jump in STT collection, and if the trend continues, the government’s collections on STT may double this year.
NSE :
According to data from PRIME Database, the quantum of retail holding in NSE-listed companies has crossed the 7 per cent mark for the first time ever in the quarter ended June 2021. In value terms, retail holding touched a new high of Rs 16.18 trillion from the previous quarter’s Rs 13.94 trillion – an increase of 16 per cent.
Last month, NSE chief Vikram Limaye pointed out that the stock exchange has seen over 50 lakh new investor registrations in the current financial year. This is equal to 62.5 per cent of the total number of new investor registrations, at around 80 lakh, that were added last financial year. The extra retail participation could be on account of the bull run on the stock market, spearheaded by IT and pharma companies.
New retail investor registration in the stock market directly benefits unlisted companies like NSE limited which has seen an increasing trend of new retail users. In the last financial year 73% of NSE’s profits came from its core operations which is fees on trading of various asset class.
