Nirmala Sitharaman: STT Hike Aimed At Handling Systemic Risk In Derivative Markets | India Today

On this Special Report, the focus is on the volatile reaction of the Indian stock markets following the Union Budget 2026. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, while addressing the market's negative reaction, stated, 'The objective of raising the tax rates on STT has been that it is meant to essentially handle the systemic risk in derivative markets.' The Sensex plummeted by over 1500 points and the Nifty fell nearly two per cent after the government announced a significant hike in the Securities Transaction Tax (STT) for futures and options trading. The government maintains that the move is intended to discourage speculative F&O trading and protect small investors from high-risk volatility. Despite the immediate 'bloodbath' on Dalal Street, officials expressed confidence that the market would stabilise soon, describing the current downturn as a temporary reaction to necessary structural reforms aimed at securing the financial ecosystem. #Budget2026 #NirmalaSitharaman #StockMarket #itwebvideos #DalalStreet #Sensex #Nifty #STT #FinanceMinister #IndianEconomy #MarketCrash #Trading #Investing #IndiaToday #FinancialNews #TaxHike Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
