STT collections rise 52% to ₹46,840 crore in FY27
In short
Data from the Income Tax Department showed STT collection rose to ₹46,840 crore from ₹31,000 crore. The report says that is a 52% jump in FY27 so far, and it comes amid market volatility.
The higher collection suggests more trading activity or higher taxable turnover, but the report does not say why it rose. It also does not give the full direct-tax numbers beyond STT.
