That I suppose would be because most people deal in equities only. But I am sure %wise it would be much more on derivatives. And they have made strange tweaks to lot sizes in the name of moral policing to ensure that even more tax needs to be paid
Using delivery trade, we can't keep positional swing short sell for few days also, which they want, they think due to shorters market fall .
The recent Physical delivery rule is also set to collect higher STT in the same way, even there is physical delivery for options which is pathetic.
They want to SHIFT retail traders from Future Segment to Option Segment also to collect more STT. If u are using the same capital for options(instead of futures) u r bound to over trade and use higher volumes. Yes, these hidden criteria was clearly discussed on CNBC channel too. Somewhere in one of my thread, I have posted that link too.
