Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether long-term capital losses can be carried forward and set off against gains from market-linked debentures. While losses from other sources can generally be offset against income, the specific treatment of market-linked debentures, particularly those held at amortised cost, is debated. The applicability of Section 70 of the Income Tax Act is considered, with a distinction made between traded and issued debentures.

Since this is a personal thing,  yes. A loss can be set off from other sources of income.

Sec 70 read.

It’s properly defined in section 70(1,2 &3). A) Since debentures are capital in nature but debt instrument, at amortised cost while the carry forward loss can be from speculation. B) If that is also a traded version, you can set off. Not sure about the option A.

What about issued debentures after amortisation? I guess that will not be considered as things are different between company and personal accounting
