02 August 2012 No specific section available. The point you have raised is very very TRICKY. How? If it hedge... how can ther be LOSS would be the first question put forth by any man of ordinary prudence. The moment you start advocating, he/she will conclude that you have used HEDGE as speculative profit earmning vehicle. The hedge loss can be claimed under esiduary head. Refer the annual report of L&T.
