Hi,

The assessee (Company) has filed the return for the A/Y 2006-07 within due date. During the financial year 2005-06, the assessee had short term capital gains from mutual funds which the company had set off to carried forward loss. Now, the IT assessment is going on? Whether setoff of carried forward loss with short term capital gain is right? Can assessing officer levy tax on STCG, if yes, at what rate?
