Increase in securities transaction tax spooks Dalal Street

India’s equity markets seem to have reacted negatively to the increase of securities transaction tax (STT) on futures and trading segment from 0.02% to 0.05%, with the BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 indices down by 1.8%.

After both the indices took a slide of more than 2.5%, the markets seem to be recovering just a little. At 12.35 pm the Sensex was trading at 80,980, down 1.56%, and Nifty 50 at 24,880, down 1.8%.
