Suppose in Assessment year 2018-19 the profit was calculated under normal provisions of IT Act and resulted in a loss of 1,00,000 which was carried forward. (this did not have any unabsorbed depreciation - only normal business loss) In the next year (Assessment year 2019-20) the assessee opted for presumptive taxation u/s 44AD and this resulted in a deemed profit of 1,20,000. The question is, can the last year loss of 1,00,000 be set-off against the current year deemed profit (under section 44AD) of 1,20,000. Thanks in advance for your guidance
