12 September 2011 Your loss from business should not be speculation loss:
1.Assuming that it is not speculation business loss you can adjust against other heads of income except income under the head salary.
2.Section 44AD is a presumptive tax applicable to business of civil construction or supply of labour for civil construction.
3.Presumptive Tax is 8% of the gross receipts.
4.Tax audit u/s 44AB is applicable only when gross sales exceed Rs 60 lacs for the Assessment Year 2011-12.
