19 May 2009 Unrealised loss in your query is tax deductible, since it belong to transaction on revenue account, the same will be charged to P & L Account as per As 11 ( Before amendment) and as per tax the same would also allowed. You can refer to following case list of case decision in this regards.

DCIT vs Maruti Udyog Ltd. - 101 TTJ 760

National Thermal Power Co. Ltd. vs CIT - 1999 157 CTR 249

CIT vs Sun Engineering Works Pvt Ltd - 198 ITR 297

Oil and Natural Gas Corpn. Ltd. vs Dy. CIT - 261 ITR 1; 77 TTJ 387

Silicon Graphics Systems India Ltd. vs ACIT - 105 TTJ 591

Silicon Graphics Systems (I) (P) Ltd. vs DCIT - 106 TTJ 1153

19 May 2009 Very well answered by Rajesh Ji with nice supportings. I agree with him.

19 May 2009 In my opinion, it is not allowable.
The relavant decision is
CIT V/s R.D Tradelink.
Also, it shouldn't be since it is not a incuured loss but a notional loss.
It is disallowed as per Sec.37
