31 July 2012 Yes loss or one business is to be set off agt Profit of another Business. But Loss from Speculation business is only set off agt Profit of Speculation Business,

Loss of non speculation business can be set off agt profit of any business income and profit of any other head (Except Salary Income), business loss can be carry forward upto 8 A.Y. and can be set off with same head while carry forward.
