19 May 2009 look kuldip ltcg is taxable @ 20%. and stcg would be taxable @15%(if stt paid) or at normal slab starting from 10% after basic exemption limit. Therefore it is better to adjust against ltcg first. in the given case you have only two income therefore the above treatment is favourable if the normal income goes to 30% rate then it should be better to adjust the BEL against normal income instead of LTCG.
