Set off and carry forward of capital loss, Income Tax

[anil kalia]

Whether any capital loss on the transactions not covered under section 10(38) or section 111A is required to be set off against income on transactions covered under section 10(38), to determine the carry forward loss to be yet off in future as per the provisions of Income Tax Act

Provisions of Section 74 read with section 70(2) of the Income Tax are being looked into so address the your query. As per my understanding the loss incurred on a capital assets which is not eligible for exemption under section 10 or otherwise, there is no provision to set off such loss with the income which is exempt from the tax under section 10 since it is not forming part of taxable income or gross total income.
