20 March 2013 According to me, yes it would be treated as Long Term Capital Gain and would be taxable as no STT would have been paid on the same.

Secondly short term capital loss can be set off against any capital gain but long term capital loss can be set off against long term capital gain only. If there is any long term capital gain, it does not need to be set off.
