Set off long term capital loss

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

You can indeed set off a long-term capital loss incurred from the redemption of an ELSS fund against a long-term capital gain made from selling a residential property. The law does not impose any restrictions preventing this kind of offset.

17 August 2020 Dear Sir
I incurred long term capital loss from redemption of ELSS (Sundram Diversified Equity -Regular-Dividend Fund ) after 3 years of investment, during FY 2019-20. Can I set off this long term loss with the long term capital gain incurred in FY 2020-21 from sale of the residential property ? Please advise. Thanks
