19 February 2014 Dear Ravi,

Unabsorbed Dep. is that part of depreciation which you taxable income can not absrob.
In other words,
if you have taxable income of Rs.1000 and Dep. is Rs.2000,
then Rs.1000 is unabsorbed dep.
Such dep. you can set off against any income under head , other than salary income ,
and have no restrictions for the no. of years to be carried forward.
Hope this will help you,
