No, short term capital loss can be set off only against short term capital gain and long-term capital gain.Hence he cannot setoff such liss against salary.
nop never salary never be set off with any loss except house property and specially stcg loss only off with stcg or ltcg so it's carry forward can't be set off
Thank you for all

1. According to sec 70(1) loss under the head Capital Gains in the nature of Short term capital asset can only be set it off against income under the head Capital Gains. 
2. So in the above case, Short Term Capital Loss cannot be set it off against salary income. 
Please correct me if the above solution has an alternative view.
