Short-term capital gains are subject to a 15% tax under Section 111A of the Internal Revenue Code. This comprises equity shares, equity-oriented mutual funds, and business trust units sold on a recognised stock exchange on or after October 1, 2004 and subject to the securities transaction tax (STT).
Short-term capital gains are earned when you sell an equity share listed on a recognised stock exchange within one year of the date of purchase. These will be subject to a 15% tax rate. Long-term capital gains are earned if you sell a listed equity share after one year from the date of acquisition (LTCG).

Furthermore, the requirement to file an ITR normally arises only when taxable income from all sources, including earnings on investments, exceeds the basic exemption threshold before other deductions and exemptions.
