24 May 2012 Speculative business and non speculative business are treated as two different business.

Income from both the business shall be computed separately.

Expenses of respective business shall be allowed against respective income.

If there is a loss from speculative business, it CANNOT be set off against income from non speculative business.

Loss from non-speculative business can be set off against income from speculative business.
