30 October 2013 Income tax department has recently issued a circular stating that loss from non-eligible business needs to be set off against gains from eligible business before claiming deduction under 10AA. Applying that circular You shall have no carry forward loss.

However, many high courts have taken a different position wherein loss of non-eligible business cannot be set-off against gains from eligible business. In such a scenario your carry forward loss shall be Rs 3 lakhs - Rs 1 lakh (taxable SEZ profit) = Rs 2 Lakhs

Given that the CBDT circulars are binding on the assessee officer, be assured that AO won't allow for carry forward of the losses during assessment stage. You can expect some relief from High Court I believe.
