Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether short-term capital losses from share trading can be set off against business income, particularly if the tax return is filed after the due date. The key takeaway is that capital losses can only be offset against capital gains, not business profits. However, intraday trading losses can be set off against speculative business profits, and F&O losses against non-speculative business profits.
