75-50= 25 STCG

45-50= -5 STCL

net STCG = 25-5 = 20

STCL can be adjusted against STCG

as ltcg is zero rated u/s 10 (38) it would be only book entry , no real benefit for adjustment.

if u have no STCG in the year to adjust the STCL then u can carry forward, and adjust the same when STCG available for adjustment, but if STCG is available then u can not carry forward.
