Dear Friends, care need to be taken while setting off and carrying forward Speculative Loss. 
           
As per Sec (73) speculative loss is not eligible for set off after the end of four A.Y's from the end of A.Y in which loss  has been incurred.
           
For eg. Speculative loss occured in the P.Y 2003-04 (A.Y 2004-05) is eligible for set off only upto the A.Y 2008-09. 
           
Note :- 4 years to be counted from the end of the year 2004-05.
