Learned Commissioner of Income Tax(A) erred in law and on facts in not allowing set off of Brought Forward Unabsorbed Business Losses (Other than Speculation Loss) against the Speculation Business Income of the Current Year amounting to Rs. 12,47,234/- 3. Issue in dispute is regarding claim of set off of unabsorbed business losses of earlier years from the alleged speculative business profits of the impugned year. 4. The facts relating to the present case is that the assessee had earned profits of Rs. 12,47,234/- from intra-day trading of shares, against which it had set off loss of share trading business of earlier years.

Whereas as per the provisions of section 43(5) of I T Act, 1961, it is clear that derivatives trading does not come under speculation business loss. Intraday share trading business comes under speculation business whereas, F&O share trading comes under business as per section 43 of the IT Act, 1961." Even the Ld. CIT(A) noted the said fact at para 4 of his order. Further undisputedly the assessee is claiming set off of brought forward business losses of ear .....

CIT(A) erred in law and on facts in making additions of Rs. 18,000/- u/s. 68 of the I.T. Act." 12. The issue is relating to the addition of Rs. 18,000/- made to the income of the assessee on account of cash credit from one Shri Chirag Bhikhalal Patel. As is evident from the order of the AO, during the assessment proceedings, inquiry in relation to unsecured loans taken by the assessee amounting in all to Rs. 35,98,244/- was conducted by the AO by issuance of notice under section 133(6) of the Act to various parties from whom assessee had taken the loans. The ld. AO sought confirmation of the same and out of the above unsecu .....

The assessee having admittedly proved genuineness of 99.5% of the unsecured loans taken and with regard to this small deposit of Rs. 18,000/-, had given an explanation for non-service of notice under section 133(6), and had offered all cooperation in getting its confirmation, the said loan can also be safely said to be genuine and cannot be doubted for the mere reason that no confirmation was forthcoming of the same. 15. Taking note of overall facts and circumstances, we see no reason to hold the impugned unsecured loan of Rs. 18,000/- as unexplained. The addition so made under section 68 of Rs. 18,000/- is therefore directed to be deleted. Gr ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
