Can a defunct having no income & only statutory dues such as ROC filing fees, audit fees, Profession tax as expenses claim such expenses as a loss in Return of Income?

Such expenditure,in the cited issue,is not spent for earning an income. Hence can't be claimed as business expenditure.

Yes, I agree since loss is negative income & loss would mean negative income arising from a business activity. Here there is NIL income & expenses have no relation with any income earning activity, hence cannot be claimed as a business loss. Are there any case laws in support of this contention? Also what about carry forward of unabsorbed depreciation of such a defunct co?
