2) Speculation Business loss - Cannot be set off by any other head income and nor from the normal business income
3) Long Term Capital loss - Can only be set off against Long term Capital Gain and not from any other head of income
4) Short Term Capital loss - Can only be set off from the Short term or long term capital gain and not from any other head of income
