Yes, long-term capital gains (LTCG) on the sale of equity mutual funds without indexation can be set off against short-term capital losses (STCL) on the sale of equities within one year.

According to the Income Tax Act of India, short-term capital losses can be set off against both short-term capital gains and long-term capital gains, whereas long-term capital losses can be set off only against long-term capital gains
