We got a doubt about setting off business loss against short term capital gain.
Sir, Can we setoff carry forward business loss (includes depreciation) against short term capital gain, which is as a result of depreciated business asset sale.

agree with Mr.Amir
Brought forward Business loss can only be set off against Business income - It cannot be set off against STCG
As rightly pointed out by Amir, Unabsorbed depreciation can be set off against STCG....
Current year Business loss can be setoff against any income except salary income.....
