27 May 2011 Only the net income is taxable in India, but the exact nature of incomes/losses under PIS need to be seen .

Yes, In fact the same issues are faced by most of the NRIs investing through PIS.

Also, from February 11, ICICI Direct (AD ICICI Bank Ltd) has started allowing sett off of such losses.

You may refer 10.23 of followed link:

No case law available. You may obtain legal opinion.
