15 December 2010 The loss of Rs. 20 per share is a loss under the head "Capital Gains".
This loss can be set-off with any other Capital Gain during the same Assessment Year. If this loss could not be set-off as abovesaid, it will be carried forward to next 8 Assessment Years to be set-off similarly as stated above in respective Asssessment Years.

27 March 2011 Hi,

It Shall be treated as either
STCL or LTCL depending upon the holding period of such security.

If LTCL it cannot be set off with any other Heads of Incomes except LTCG
If STCL it can be set off with LTCG or STCG {if any} or other heads of Income.

Thank you
