Set off of capital gains: stcg to stcl

Tax queries 747 views 1 replies

I have a Short Term Capital Loss of 5 lakh in F&O Trading for the Financial Year 2012-13

In 13-14 I will be going to have STCG of Rs.10 Lakh from sale of an underconstruction property.

I have also paid 3 Lakh as interest on the Home loan taken for this property. No Tax exemp. claim was made bcoz it is in u/c.

 

My query:

1. If I carry STCL to 13-14, Can I Set off my STCL (F&O) with STCG (Property)??

2. Will Interest paid on the property will be deducted from the profit??

 

Pls Advise

No in both cases...

STCG in F&O is from speculation business and this tyoe of loss can be setoff aganist gain from the same business.

 

Ddeduction of Interest on home loan in taken under section 24(b) and not in any other section.
