There will not be any tax liability as it's below the exemption limit and the Total income for computation would be 2.4l 20000 will be carry forward after setting off the Business loss with speculative gain and as said by Mr.Gosh if satisfy sec 71
Then assumption on the nature of loss is to be taken. Speculative loss is of special nature whereas business loss is of General nature. If specific nature is not mentioned it has to be assumed as General business loss.
Ms.Rashmi Gandhi , Speculation Income would be added and sett off against the Business Loss and only the final Numbers are to be taken for the considersation. In this case INR 20,000 would again be carry forward as Business Loss cannot be set off against the salary Income so only the salary part would be coming and there will not be any tax liability as that being under the Basic exemption limit.
Please read section 71 and section 73. All the confusions will be cleared. In nutshell, there is no significance of speculative and non speculative income. Only speculative business loss has special treatment in income tax. Speculative business loss can be set off only against speculative business income. This is the only implication of speculative loss.
