18 March 2008 SHORT TERM CAPITAL LOSS CANNOT BE SET OFF WITH SALRY INCOME .YOU CAN CARRY FORWARD THAT SHORT TERM CAPITAL GAIN FOR 8 ASSESSMENT YEARS AND CAN SET OFF THAT LOSS IN FUTURE WITH THE CAPITAL GAIN IF ANY

19 March 2008 Not only capital loss, any loss incurred under four heads cant be setoff under salary head.
The short term capital loss can be carried forward to 4 A.Y & adjusted in both long term & short term capital gain if it incurred for the coming years it is as per sec.74 of Income tax act,1956.
