rry sir , the question is not relevant to the above thread but I will be grateful for any help I have made a short term Capital loss of Rs. 50k And long term gain of Rs 1lakh in the same year. Now, as per notified rules the long term gain is exempt up to the limit of 1 lakh. My query is – .1. Is it possible for me to claim the exemption on long term capital gains made during this year Of 1 lakh and Not set off the STC loss of this year and carry forward the Same to next year Since I know that I have made STC gain next year Or it is mandatory to set off the short term losses first and claim the exemption on the remaining amount of LTCG.
