LOSS ON ACCOUNT OF SPECULATION CAN BE SET OFF ONLY AGAINEST PROFIT FROM SPECULATION. AGAIN SHORT TERM CAPITAL LOSS CAN BE SET OFF ONLY AGAINEST SHORT TERM CAPITAL GAIN AND LONG TERM CAPITAL GAIN. THEREFORE THE SHORT TERM CAPITAL LOSS CANNOT BE SET OFF AGAINEST SPECULATION PROFIT AND NOR THE SPECULATION LOSS BE SET OFF AGAINEST SHORT TERM CAPITAL GAIN.

REGARDS.
