11 November 2008 Forward contracts in Securities are not speculative. The hedging transactions in commodities market are also not speculative in nature. Section 43(5) may be referred in this regard. Any loss arising from speculative trades will be carried forward u/s 73 while loss from non-speculative trades will c/f u/s 72 as a normal business loss.
