Long term capital gain on land: Rs.262147

My question is from which gain the STCL on shares should be set off ? And why ?
Any reference to legal provision will be appreciated


21 January 2014 Long term capital loss can be set off from long term capital gain only. Whereas, short term capital loss can be set off from both i.e long term as well as short term capital gain.

In your case long term capital gain on land would be chargeable @ 20% whereas short term capital gain on shares is chargeable @15% u/s 111A.

Hence it is advisable to set off the above loss from long term capital gain.

Your tax would be work out as follows:
Tax @15 % on 213747 = 32062
Tax @20% on (262147-150345)= 22360
