11 July 2011 trading in deriatives is considered as PGBP, all such expenses are allowed in PGBP, and loss can be carried forward for set off in forthcoming years ( if there is other business income then available for set off in current year itself)

13 July 2011 Loss from the Business or profession is allowable and in case of loss from futures the same is to be allowed including the brokerage STT or any other charges which you have paid.

In income Tax return you have to show under the head carry forward of losses for the year.
