A Company has income under the head Capital Gain. The Company incurs loss in Trading(Sauda squared up same day) in Commodity Exchange(NCDEX). can Loss in Commodity be set off against Capital gain.
Im ny opinion, loss incurred at MCX is allowed only to be set off against Capital gain.

Loss from commodities trading from either MCX & NCDEX is speculative business income income and hence cannot be set off against capital gains.
MCX Stock Exchange Ltd. has been recognised under section 43(5)(d) which means that the trade in derivatives through this exchange will now be regarded as Business transaction which deals in currency derivatives and Multi Commodity Exchange of India Limited trades in commodities and not MCX Stock Exchange Ltd. So commodities trading in MCX still speculative only.
But it is still not cleat to me. Please let me know if a company incurs loss on any Commodity Exchange in commodity trading, can that loss be adjusted with Capital Gain
