18 July 2009 as far as I know since long term capital gain on which STT has been charged is exempt, in same manner LTCL on which is STT is charged are not allowed to c/f . since the income is exempt the loss is not allowed to c/f

18 July 2009 If income from a source is altogether exempt from tax (in this case income is exempt u/s 10(38) as STT has been paid) loss from that source cannot be set off against income from a different source or income under a different head or income under same head. Such loss cannot be carry forward.
