Company having business of purchasing land & developing them to sell them
In the normal course of business comapny have incurred exepnditure. However compny have not made any sales during the year.
Hence company incurred losses. Only other source of income is interest on term deposits from bank.
Since this income will be treated as income from other sources. i want to know wether business losses can be adjusted against this income while preparing Computation of income under income tax act.
And what will be the provision for tax. Net off of Business & Other sources or only for Other sources.
