11 February 2014 You have to find it out whether it is a short term loss or a long term loss. If long term then it is exempted and if short term then the loss can be adjusted against short term profit or to be treated as a business income or loss provided the shares are held for less than a month. If your friend has incurred losses on intraday transaction then it is to be treated as speculation loss and it can only be adjusted against speculation profit.
