Offset of STCG against long term capital loss

This query is : Resolved 

29 April 2020 I sold my debt Mutual Fund after 2 years and 3 months for a gain of say Rs 100000/- this gain will be considered as short term capital gain. If I sell an equity MF after 1 year for a loss of say Rs 95000/- which would be a long term capital loss.
1.My query is can these two be offset against each other giving me a net income of Rs 5000 .

29 April 2020 No, Long Term Capital Loss can be set off only against Long Term Capital Gains. Carry forward the loss to next year.

09 May 2020 I think Debt mutual funds needs to be held for more than 36 months to be considered for considering Long term Capital. You must be invested for 3 years. In you case both are short term capital gain and loss.
