Though both transactions are in the same scrip and have been settled on the same date, the Sett Nos aredifferent as the transactions have been executed on different Exchanges. Hence, tax would be applicable onthe profit transaction, which would have to be withheld by the QDP and paid to the Govt by 07FEB2013.Assuming that the QFI does no other transaction during the entire FY, the Net Profit / Loss during the FYwould be 0 (zero). Hence, no tax would be applicable for the FY. However, since tax has already been paid onthe profitable transaction, the QFI would be required to file the IT Return within the stipulated timelines toclaim refund of the surplus tax paid
