19 March 2008 Not only capital loss, any loss incurred under four heads cant be setoff under salary head.
The short term capital loss can be carried forward to 4 A.Y & adjusted in both long term & short term capital gain if it incurred for the coming years it is as per sec.74 of Income tax act,1956.
