Set off and Carry forward

Is it necessary to set off current year business losses before setting off brought forward business loss?
(both being non-speculative)

Eg.
Income from HP = 60,000

Income from business A= 1,00,000

Current year loss in business B= 50,000

B/f loss in business A= 70,000
B/f loss in business B= 80,000

Please tell me what will be the minimum possible GTI in such a case.

Rs. 60,000/-. As b/f loss from PGBP cannot be adjusted against income from HP.

But Ma'am is it possible that i set off Current year business loss of 50,000 with HP income,
and the b/f business losses with the Pgbp income?
GTI would come to 10,000 then.

No. First intra-head sett off, only after that inter-head....

So its not possible that we exhaust the entire Pgbp income first from the b/f losses?

And since nothing is left in pgbp set off the current year loss with HP income.

1. No.

There is no concept of intra-head, unless its speculative & non-speculative.

All the non speculative (as in the example) incomes are summed up, be positive or negative, then adjusted inter-head.

Any balance adjusted against b/f. losses under same head..
