Is this a valid capital loss scenario?

This query is : Resolved 

08 January 2014 Property buy 2005 - 25L
Property sale 2013 - 35L (Net after sale expenses)
Indexed cost - 2013 - 38L (Applying cost inflation index from 2005->2013 on 25L)

Capital Loss = 38-35 = 3L

Can I show a capital loss of 3L in my income tax returns?
I would like to offset future gains against this loss.

Thanks,
Kapil
