The Long term capital gain on sale of equity shares is exempt from tax under Sec.10.
Accordingly, long term capital loss is also not allowable to be set off under Sec.14A.

income exemp U/sec 10 are not part of computation of income so loss regarding those income are not also part of compution of income so set off of LTCL on sale of eqity shares is not allowed..
