    Solution

    Any long-term capital loss can be carried forward to the next following eight assessment years and can be set off only against "long-term capital gain" in those years. Long-term capital losses can be carried forward and set off against long-term capital gains in subsequent years, but they cannot be set off against short-term capital gains, income from house property, or income from other sources.
