I earned long term profit [4Lacs] by selling my plot and short term profit [10Lacs] by selling my house. However I lost big time [30Lacs] in share trading.
I want to balance the profit earned [14Lacs] in sale of plot & house with that of the loss [30Lacs] I inucrred in share trading, please somebody help me this is very urgent and serious, thanks.
A short-term capital loss can be set-off against any capital gain (whether long-term or short-term).
But situation may change if you are a heavy trader and your share trading is considered as a business activity. In this case, capital gains from sale of properties won't be adjustable against trading loss.
Also in case loss is in intra-day trading it would come in speculation and also won't be available for set-off against gains from properties.
Short Term loss from Share Trading can be set-off against Short Term Profit from sale of House Property
Karan, thanks much, can you please guide me, how to go about this, thanks
