TDS deductable is Rs 26,780/- upto Mar 2010 from salary.

He purchased shares of Rs 1,00,000/- during the financial year 2007-08 and

now want to to sale in Mar 2010.Present markect price is Rs 40000/-.

So that Long term capital loss is Rs 60000/- (Approx)

Please give valuable input on the same.

Dear Amir Brother......Welcome Back......a gap of One week rite.............

and for the query....Amir bhai is rite...........

Long Term Capital Loss cannot be set off against Salary income..........

Long Term Capital Gains on Sale of Shares routed through Stock Exchange and STT paid is Exempt from tax ........and therefore LTCL cannot be adjusted against any income........Am i rite.???Amir bhai..........

Dear Balaji,

Thanks Bro.....

Yes u r rite regading LTCL on which STT has been paid.

But infact in general, LTCL cannot be setoff against salary

Yes.........I agree.........

Long Term Capital Loss can be set off only against Long Term Capital Gains or Short Term Capital Gains (If STT is paid u/s 111A).  If the LTCL is on transfer of Shares where STT is paid it is exempt u/s 10(38) (both loss or gain)... So it cannot be set off against salary....

Dear Freinds,

According to section 71(3):-

For Losses under Capital Gains Inter head setoff is not permissible
