20 February 2008 CAPITAL LOSSES CANNOT BE SET OFF AGAINST ANY OTHER HEAD OF INCOME .CAPITAL LOSSES CAN BE SET OFF AGAINST THE SAME HEAD OF INCOME. SHORT TERM CAPITAL LOSS CAN BE SET OFF AGT LONG/SHORT TERM CAPITAL GAIN BUT LONG TERM CAPITAL LOSS CANNOT BE SET OFF AGAINST SHORT TERM CAPITAL GAIN

20 February 2008 No it can not be set off. But if say you frequently deal in share market. then A.O. will assess that income as business income and if there is any loss from share market it can be set off

20 February 2008 No, Capital Losses can only be set off against Capital Profits.There is no Inter-head adjustment for this loss.
