In my view stcl can be set off against long term or short term capital gain only.. And there is no concept of deemed stcl... Correc me if I am wrong
So stcl can not be set off against business income

It can be set-off against teh business income. if any STCL still remains after set-off, it is required to be c/f & c/f STCL can be set-off only against STCG or LTCG. However LTCL can be set-off only against LTCG
