The loss of the short term capital asset can be set off against LTCG and STCG, but loss of long term asset can be set off only against LTCG undersection 74 of income tax act. It is so simple and nothing intersting in it IS THERE

This only aplication of sec 74  of income tax act so STCL can be set off in LTCG but LTCL should set off only against LTCG
