Can a Business Loss in Futures and Options (F&O) in a year be adjusted against Short Term Capital Gains (STCG) during the year. For example, F&O loss is Rs. 2 lakh and STCG on shares is Rs. 1 lakh during the year, so can Rs.1 lakh gain can be set set off against Rs.2 lakh loss and the income during the year is NIL and the remaining F&O loss is carried forward to subsequent years.

Many thanks in advance for your response.

Kind regards.
