17 July 2010 point no.1 the loss arising out of the above would be treated as long term capital gain and it can be carried forward for a period of 8 years if the following condition is satisfied.
it is not sold through recognised stock exchange and STT is not paid.
if the condition is not satisfied, since gain is exempt loss cannot be carried forward
if it is held as stock in trade then it is business income and loss can be carried forward for 8 years
