04 October 2011 The loss of Rs. 1 lakh is totally on account of depreciation?

If that is the case, no deduction will be allowed.

This is so because Explanation 1 to ection 115JB provides that "brought forward business loss or unabsorbed depreciation, WHICHEVER IS LESS, shall be reduced from net profit for computing book profit."

It also provides that business loss does not include unabsorbed depreciation.

SO, if either, business loss or unabsorbed depreciation is NIL, no reduction will be allowed.

Accordingly, if the loss of Rs 1lakh is only unabsorbed depreciation, no reduction will be made from net profit.
