I had a followup question. My understanding is that there are 2 types of STCG
1. where STT (securities transaction tax) has been paid (e.g. sale from equities)
2. where STT has not been paid.(e.g. sale from debt mutual fund)
Is it correct to say that loss from category 1 can be set off only against gain from category 1 or can it set off against gains in category 2 too? And vice versa?

(in case of companies)
well i too have same doubt,because the reason for being Long term capital loss can not be set off against short term capital gain is just because the IT department never want to loose 10% tax (30%-20%) on capital gains.as Tax on long term capital gain is 20% and short term capital gain is 30%
so as Tax on short term capital gain on which STT paid is 15%,why will IT department bear loss of 15% by allowing short term capital loss on which STT paid against short term capital gain which is taxable at 30% incase of companies
