Held that assessee is trading in shares and securities, which were exempted from tax under section 10(38) of the Act, therefore the capital gain exempted from tax, will not form part of total income and it is also not considered for set off of long term capital losses. Therefore, stand taken by the assessing officer that assessee should not utilize the exempt income to set off the losses, is correct. Since the exempt income does not form part of the total income, therefore, it should not be considered for set off losses and therefore, order passed by the assessing officer is neither erroneous nor prejudicial to the interest of revenue. Revision order was quashed. (AY. 2013-14)
