as per sec. 32(2),b/f depreciation is treated as current year depreciation and thus qualifies for inter-head adjustment.

as for depreciation it can b set-off with any income except salary income bcoz we can't set-off business loss against salary and so also depreciation also can't be set-off with salary.

so we can adjust b/f dep. from STCG.

Unabsorbed depreciation can be set off or carried forward & set off indefiitely with any other head of income. Hence unabsorbed depr. can be set off with short term capital gain.
