Finance Act, 2005 had substituted the word "eight" by the word "four" in Sub-section (4) of section 73 of Income-tax Act, 1961, with effect from 1-4-2006.
Question arises here as what will be the position of the losses suffered by the assessee before the Assessment Year 2006-07 (for which the Assessee was entitled to carry forward the same upto 8 years), which remained unsetoff as on 01.04.2006 and the period of four years from the end of relevant assessment year stood expired as on 01.04.2006; but the period of 8 years would expire after 01.04.2006.
Kindly also apprise if the captioned issue had come up and decided by any Court of Law.
