1. it is covered under business income
2. audit shall be applicable if the turnover exceeds Rs 1 cr or where the turnover is less than and income is less than 8% of turnover but overall income exceeds the basic exemption limit.
3. once the income is properly reported, loss will automatically be carry forwarded.
4. well without audit, you cannot claim loss 9as explained in Point 2.
