Hi,
Scneario 2 is correct.
My consultant adjusted the "Business Loss" of Rs 89,000 with "Interest from Bank Deposit of Rs 16,000" and "Short Term Capital Gain (taxed @ 15%) of Rs 5,000" to carry forward the Loss of (16,000+5,000 - 89,000) - Rs 68,000 for set off in future. I fall in 30% tax bracket, thus my Business Profit and Interest on Bank Deposit are taxed @ 30% Next year, there was a "Business Profit" of Rs 92,000, "interest from bank deposit of 14,000" and "short term capital gain (taxed @ 15%) of Rs 6,000. Assuming that all the incomes to be taxed @ 30%, what would be the tax liability ? The issue is as regards the ST capital gain which is taxed at a different slab, i.e. @ 15%. 1) Scenario 1 (in this case, I am forced to pay 30% tax on ST capital gain although it is taxed @ 15%): Total income in 2018-19: (92,000+14,000+6,000)= 112,000. After adjusting to the Loss (112,000 - 68,000) = 44,000. The total Tax Liability (30% of the 44,000) = Rs 13,400 2) Scenario 2 (I am forced to pay a part of the ST gain @ 30%): Profit from Business = (92,000 - 68,000) = 24,000. Tax is = 24,000 X 30% = 7,200 Tax on Interest = 14,000 X 30% = 4,200. Tax on ST Capital Gain = 6,000 X 15% = 900. The Total Tax liability = 7,200+4,200+900 = 12,300. 3) Scenario 3: Profit from Business = (92,000 - 89,000) = 3,000. Tax is 3,000 X 30% = 900 Tax on the Bank Deposit = (16,000+14,000) = 30,000. Tax is 30,000 X 30% = 9,000 Tax on ST Capital Gain = (5,000 + 6,000) = 11,000. Tax is 11,000 X 15% = 1,650 The total Tax liability is (900+9,000+1,650) = 11,550 Which one is Correct ? Rs 13,400 ? 12,300 ? 11,550 ?
Hello,
The second Scenario is the correct one.
I hope that this answer satisfies your requirements.

Which means, I should not take the items like "ST Capital gain" for set off purposes. Better I should pay the tax on ST Capital Gain @ 15% in the year it accrued. The Lesson is, I should set off those incomes against the business loss, only if they fall in the same tax bracket like the loss from the business.
While reporting the "Profit/Loss from the Business" in ITR-3, I am confused about How to show the Derivative Transaction from currency derivatives. The underlying securities in currency derivatives is huge. Should I show the Sale/Buy Value of the USDINR future as "Sale of Goods" and "Purchases" ? It could run into million dollars, but then how to show the Profit or Loss from the trading of currency derivatives in ITR-3 ?
There is no such hierarchy suggested by Income tax act in section 71.
Hence you can use method 3 which is most beneficial for you.
Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.
Thank you.
To calculate turnover, sum up the value of your positive and negative trades. Say if you have a positive trade of Rs 40,000 and negative trade of Rs 36,000, your income is Rs 4,000 but your turnover shall be Rs 76,000
