Rationalisation of provisions relating to STT
As per the existing provisions section 99 of the Finance (No.2) Act, 2004, the value of taxable securities transaction in respect of sale of an option in securities, where option is exercised, shall be, the settlement price.
In order to rationalise the levy of STT where the option is exercised, it is proposed to amend the said section so as to provide that value of taxable securities transaction in respect of sale of an option in securities, where option is exercised, shall be the difference between the strike price and the settlement price.
This amendment will take effect from 1st September, 2019.
[Clause 193]
Securities transaction tax change: levy on exercised options now measured by the strike settlement price difference, affecting option sales. The taxable value for sale of an option in securities where the option is exercised is redefined to be the difference between the strike price and the settlement price, replacing the previous measure of the settlement price for STT calculations; this legislative amendment is enacted by Clause 193 of the Finance (No.2) Bill, 2019 and takes effect from 1st September, 2019.
