Disallowance of mark to market loss claimed by the appellant


Quick Summary
This Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ruling concerns a company that claimed a significant unrealised loss on forward contracts due to foreign currency fluctuations. The Assessing Officer disallowed this loss, citing a CBDT instruction regarding notional and speculative losses. While the lower appellate authority upheld this disallowance, the Tribunal ultimately allowed the company's claim. They reasoned that disallowing the loss would be prejudicial, especially as the loss was reversed in the subsequent year when the contracts matured and similar gains had been accepted as income.
