Under forward contract how many types of losses or gain covered.I mean to say for business purpose or speculation purpose.

Whether gain or loss on forward contract covered under section 72(i.e.business loss) or covered under section 73(i.e.speculation loss)

Pls.clarify the doubts.

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.
