Hello Saurabh
No the Assessee cannot set off the loss, as Long Term Capital Loss can be set off only against Long Term Capital Gain.....
Thanks & Regards

Dear
Long Term losses can be set off only agianst long term profit in same head in different finalcial year. it means next f.y.
short term can be set off against same year 1) short term 2) long term Capital Gain.
Next F.Y. short term loss Set off against short term capital gain

No, business loss can not be adjusted against speculation business.
speculation business is different from normal business.
