No. Loss from Business should be shown as Business Loss & not at Other Sources Loss. Such Loss can be Carry forward for 8Years. There is no relevance of Capital Contribution as far as Profit-Loss of Business is Concerned. Such loss is divided in your Profit & Loss Sharing Ratio & Taxed respectively.
