CAN LTCG ( TAXABLE AT 10% SINCE NO STT PAID ON PURCHSES ) BE ADJESTED WITH LTCL ( TAX FREE SINCE STT PAID ON PURCHASES ) ?

No, both of them can't be set off as LTCL has no tax treatment being tax free.

thanks for reply .

but both are in same head and loss can be set off if its in same head .

If something is not taxable, you can't set it off from your taxable income. Being in the same head doesn't change a thing. It has to be taxable first.

okay , thanks.

its tax free since stt is paid on purchases and this is what making both differ .

what if purchase is from ipo ? 

can ipo be treated as stt paid or not ?
