Long Term Capital Loss on sale of shares (on which STT is Paid) can not be setoff against any head of income including ltcg. It is purely a dead loss as Long term Capital gain from sale of share ( on which STT is paid) is exempt.
In othercase you can setoff LTCL with LTCG only.
Correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks.

@ M N Jha - You are right. If the LTCL is from shares, the gain from which would have otherwise be en exempt u/s 10(38) caanot be set off against LTCG.
Other than the above, setting off against LTCG can be done.

**Long term capital loss can be set off only against long-term capital gains and cannot be set off against short term capital gains.
** Loss from an exempt source cannot set-off against profits from a taxable source of income.
e.g. Long term capital loss on sale of shares sold through RSE cannot be set-off against the long term capital gains on sale of land.
