Loss in Currency Trading

This query is : Resolved 

16 December 2010 A company has incurred the huge loss in currency trading from NSE. What will be the tax implications? Whether the same will be treated as speculation loss in terms of Section 43(5)read with Section 73 of the Income Tax Act, 1961?


16 December 2010 Currency traidng is speculation only. Any trading in derivative in which delivery is not there is speculation only.

16 December 2010 But as per Sec 43(5)the derivative transactions done through a recognised stock exchange shall not be treated as speculative transactions and as far as I know the NSE is a recognised stock exchange for derivative transactions.

16 December 2010 Currency trading is non speculation loss as per 43(5).

17 December 2010 Thnks. But I want to know whether that loss will be allowed to be setoff against the interest income or other business income as per Section 73

17 December 2010 Yes as it is normal business loss.
