shares, which were in holding more than 365 days, sold through demat / recognized exchange and security transaction tax is paid, LTCG is tax free under sec 10(38, similer way LTCL can not be claimed on such loss.

sice gain on sale of long term equity shares is exempt u/s 10(38), the loss on such sale is not allowed to be set-off or to carry forward.

If the shares are sold through Recognised Stock exchange, then the loss can't be carry forward as per sec - 10(38)........... 

in this case LTCG is exemted from tax u/s 10(38) and the loss cant be set off or carry forward

Is the term DEAD LOSS within the Provision of IT Act ? Please Clarify.

We all know that income from Exempt Souce can not be available for S/O and C/F . LTCG on Shares are Exempt u/s 10(38). So Such LTCG cant be available for S/O and C/F .

Mr Akash

The term "Dead Loss" is NOT defined under the income tax act, 1961 rather it is used casually to indicate a type of loss which is of no relevance in the computation of income as it is NOT ALLOWED to SET OFF in the current year income or to CARRY FORWARD to set off in the future year's income.

Further, Mr Vyas,

Sale of Long term Equity Shares have two treatments under the income Tax Act: -

Case 1:- Held in DMAT form, sold through Stock exchange & STT was paid on sale

Treatment:- (a) In case of Gain: - EXEMPT

                      (b) In case of Loss: -No Set off or Carry Forward Allowed

Case 2: -Held in physical form, shares are of an Unlisted company (i.e, not sold through Recognised Stock exchange & hence no STT paid)

Treatment: - (a) In case of Gain: -Taxable @ with 2 scenarios

                        (b)  In case of loss:- Loss is allowed to set off & carry forward.

@ Hari:

Can you please explain those two scenarios in case 2.

TO MR. WADHWA : thanks for this clarification.

I think this part is clearly deal in DT of CA Final. For IPCC , such indepth knowledge may not be necessary. However I always prefer to understand Advanced matters in taxation in lucid form (i.e understand beyond the sections).
