Please have the patience to go through the following situation and confirm whether the computation of income made is properly made as per provisions of the Income Tax Act or there is any discrepancy? One special point i wanna know is whether Depreciation of Non-Speculative business of the current year can be set off against any income from Non-Speculative Source or from any other head of income (other than Salary Income) in the current year?

Dear Ajay,

The issue regarding setting off of Unabsorbed Depreciation with Salary has been debated n no. of times.........

some says it cannot well other says it can be set off.......I think it cannot be setoff

this is also one of same kind Whether "unabsorbed depreciation" sustained under speculative business can be setoff or not with the Profits of Non speculative business...........my view is it CANNOT.......therefore the above computation is not correct.......

 

Yes about depreciation of Non speculative business u r rite.........................
