03 August 2010 There is no section like Section 73A in Income Tax Act.

I think normal provisions only apply to loss as per section 35AD as is applicable to business loss.

03 August 2010 Finance (No.2) Act ,2009 has inserted this section w.e.f 01/04/2010.
Section 73A(2) has a restriction ie., subject to the other provisions of this chapter. Hence,as per my understanding, section 72(3) can be applied which means maximum carry forward period is 8 years.

03 August 2010 Forgot the new setion amended.

It states if the loss cannot be wholly so set off, the amount of loss not so set off shall be carried forward to the following assessment year and so on and subject to other provisions of the chapter which would be eight years only.
