A capital loss (short-term/long-term) can be carried forward for a maximum period of 8 years from the assessment year in which the loss was first incurred. A short-term capital loss can be set off against any capital gain (long-term and short-term). However a long-term capital loss can be set off only against a long-term capital gain.
