Budget 2026: F&O Trading Hit

STT Hike Confirmed
- Securities Transaction Tax on Futures rises from 0.02% to 0.05%
- Impacts broking margins and F&O trading volumes

Market Pressure
- BSE, broking stocks face immediate headwinds
- Higher transaction costs curb retail derivatives activity

Key Takeaway: STT tripled on futures squeezes leveraged trades – brokers, algo players under margin pressure short-term.

#*BUDGET*
😆😆

Look at % wise …. They want to discourage FO?

Future trading will be very difficult. Option still less impact but there will additional cost.

*The Government of India has increased the Securities Transaction Tax (STT) on derivatives (Futures & Options) in the Union Budget 2026-27.*

This impacts everyone who trades Nifty Futures


📌 Assumptions
Nifty price: 25,000

STT = 0.02% × 16,25,000

= ₹325

🔹 After Budget
STT rate: 0.05%
STT = 0.05% × 16,25,000
= 0.0005 × 16,25,000
= ₹812.50

📊 Impact per 1 Lot (65 qty)
STT Before - ₹325
