Capital Gains

Dear all, I have an interesting Case, I have the Long Term Capital Gain from Sale of Property and Short Term capital Loss from sale of Mutual Funds. Can the Short Term capital Loss from Sale of Mutual Funds be set off against the Long Term Capital gain on Sale of Property? If Yes, Please give me a Case Law supporting the Fact and If No, Please give me a Case Law supporting the Fact

The loss of the short term capital asset can be set off against LTCG and STCG, but loss of long term asset can be set off only against LTCG undersection 74 of income tax act. It is so simple and nothing intersting in it IS THERE

This only aplication of sec 74  of income tax act so STCL can be set off in LTCG but LTCL should set off only against LTCG
