Hi Satyendra,
Short term capital loss will be adjusted only against short term capital gain or long term capital gain. It cannot be adjust to any other heads.

I would like to rectify small mistake of Mr. Pradeep,
Short term capital loss will be adjusted against short term capital gain
and/or

It cannot be adjust to any other heads.

Short Term Capital loss can not be set-off against salary income for the year. It can only be set-off against any capital gain i.e. Long-Term or Short Term for the year.
Thus,Short-Term capital loss of listed securities can be set-off against Long-term Gain in unlisted securities. However, Long-Term capital loss can not be set-off against Short Term Capital Gain. It can only be set-off against Long term capital gain only. (Refer Sec 70 & 71)
Thanks,

Derivative loss is either Short-Term capital loss or Business loss depending upon nature of your activity i.e. investing activity or business activity. If it is out of your investing activity, derivative loss is a short term capital loss and it can be set-off against short term capital gain in shares

STCL can be adjusted against income under head capital gains only. Further Business loss cannot be set off against salary
