You will need to conider the deprn & business loss on cumulative basis & take the deduction accordingly.

As per my opinion looking to the language of clause , approach of Girish Ahuja (Bharat Book) is most preferable.........

1. You should consider year wise unabsorbed depreciation or unabsorbed loss w.e. is less

2. for next year before applying above step, you should aggregate i. e. opg balance of loss(to the extent not set off previous year) + current year loss
