Hi,
Deferred tax has to be provided for irrespective of current year losses. It is calculated w.r.t to future period perspective. Even the carry forwrd losses should be considered for calculation.
Losses reflects the lower tax liability in future. Also the reason for providing deferred tax has got nothing to do with current year losses as we consider temp differences and others like Emp retirement benefits & Deprecitation.
Thanks,
Suri

Deferred taxes are to be provided only in case of timing differences between income tax act and normal accounts. For example - difference in the rate of depreciation would lead to timing difference of profit between income tax and accounts.
So even if there are losses, if there is difference in losses as per income tax and as per accounts and if that difference is timing difference and not permanent difference then only differed tax will arise
