Carry Forward and Set- off

If an assessee incurred Business Loss during Previous Year 2001-02, can he set off such loss using current year Business Income. (AY 10-11)

According to the Act, business loss can be carried forward and set off with in 8 Assessment Years.

Hence the assessee cannot set off this loss. Am i correct?

Hi Deepika,

 

As per my knowledge, in ur case assessee can set off his business loss for the Previous Year 2001-02 in AY-2010-11.

 

 

Loss should be set off within 8 Assessment Years. In this case starting from AY 2002-03 to 2009-10 it completes. Am i correct?

its 8 year from the end of the relevant AY in which th loss occured...

 

so loss of PY 01-02.... can be carried forward and set off..... till... AY 10-11

assesee can set off his loss in a/y 2010-2011.period of set off starts from a/y 2003-04

Dear Deepika

That Business man can set off his loss upto A.Y 2010-11

1. A.Y is 2003-04 because you are incurring loss in the Prev. Year 2001- 02 means to say that A.Y 2002-03 and loss can be carry forward for next Eight years

so A.Y 2010-11 is the Eighth year and its last year and one more thind if Company amalgmated with any company in the A.Y 2010-11 then eight year for carry forwarding Losses will be start again....

 

Regards

In Singhania Book it is given as "Business Loss pertaining to the assessment year 1988-99 can be adjusted upto Assessment Year 1996-97". So only, i calculated and said 8 Assessment Year is completed.

Pl. clarify

Dear Deepaka

A. Y. 1988-89 loss carried forward upto 8 assessement year i. e.

90-91

91-92

92-93

93-94

94-95

95-96

96-97

97-98

But if singhania book written upto 1996-97 then may be possible Printing Mistake

Dear Deepika yes u r right pls refer exlanation of mr. sanjay its good Dear u r saying loss incurred in A.Y 1988-89 (P.Y 1987-88) and as per rules Eight years starts from the next previous year means to say that A.Y 1989-90 (P.Y 1988-89) so calculate eight years from their

1. 1989-90

2.  90-91

3. 91-92

4.  92-93

5. 93-94

6. 94-95

7.  1995-96

8. 1996-97

 

Regards

Dear Sanjay sir

 

pls correct me if i am wrong

every lear for counting of Loss begins from the next year in which loss has incurred so in this case loss incurred in 1988-89 so period must be begin from 1989-90
