long term capital gain on sale of shares

under section 10(38). LTCG on sale of shares is exempt.

if there is long term capital loss on shares on which STT has been paid, will it be allowed to be set off against any other long term capital gain.

Hello,

As per Provisions of Income Tax Act 1961, the loss from source from which income is exempt can not set off against any other taxable income. Accordingly as long term capital loss on sale of shares on which STT is paid is exempt,it will not be set off aginst other long term capital gains.

Thank you,

Yes since income is exempt loss cannot be available to be set off against other gains or income
