17 August 2011 A person is carrying business of share trading(not day trading) and F&O through NSE .Can we set off loss from F&O from income of share trading??
IF after such set-off still loss comes then can it be set off from commodity profit income.Please guide.

17 August 2011 Let me try this one;

Share profit (not intraday)then it will be classified as STCG or LTCG.
F&O Profit & Commodity Profit: It will be classified as speculative income

Now considering your question:
Now in your case the person carrying on the business of share trading then the profit from such business is classified as business income.
Profit form F&O & Commodity market classifies as income from speculative market hence speculative business income. Now speculative business loss can not be set-off against other (non speculative business income). It can be only set-off against speculative business income only. You can carried forward the speculative loss to 4 yrs & can set-off against speculative profit in future years.
