16 August 2012 Long term capital loss can be set off against long term capital gain

if it cannot be set off against current year, it can be carried forward for 8 years

16 August 2012 Agree with the expert..

If loss has arisen on the long term STT paid equity shares then long term capital loss can not be set off.
Since, it is exempt income u/s 10(38).
