In case I have brought forward business loss of 200,000 and this year my income from business is 260,000 and that is my only income, is it necessary to claim whole brought forward loss or only to the extent of 100,000 & can that remaining 100,000 be carried forward to subsequent years?

No. As per decision B.C.S. Kartar Chit Fund and Finance Co. (P.) Ltd. v. CIT (1989)179 ITR, where losses sustained are not set off against the profits of the immediately succeeding year or years they cannot be set off against profits at a later date.

You have to adjust full brought forward loss against the profit of the current year. It can not be adjusted partly if current year income allow to adjust fully.
