Taxability of loss by theft of salary individual

This query is : Resolved 

03 January 2016 HELLO,
All TAX EXPERTS, C.A & C.A students pls. consider following situation & comment.........
Mrs. A who is a salaried employee person earning less than Rs. 15 lac her capital assets(i.e. personnel jewellary) was stolen on 25/08/2014, amounting to approx Rs. 6lac, she had file a police complaint for it till that no stolen jewellery is recovered . The assesse has not taken insurance of that jewellery. My question is how to show the effect of such loss by theft while filing income tax return for F.Y.2014-15 of a salaried people. Whether to show as Long term capital loss, if yes then presentation of it and whether it will be allowed to be carried forward under income tax act, and if no then what are the other ways to show it in income tax return.

Please give due reference of revelant sections & Case laws.

03 January 2016 For a salaried employee no loss of personal asset can be claimed in the return.

04 January 2016 SIR,
THANK YOU, FOR THE ANSWER,
BUT I AM STILL NOT SATISFIED WITH ANSWER, SIR SEE IF WE WOULD HAD THAT ASSETS AND WERE SOLD WE WOULD WRITE LONG TERM CAPITAL GAIN THEN FOR SUCH LOSS BY THEFT WE CANT WRITE LONG TERM CAPITAL LOSS.


05 January 2016 For business such loss is allowed, on the same analogy claim it as a long term capital loss which can't be adjusted against salary income. It can be carried forward and set off in future on long term capital gains.

05 January 2016 Sir, thank you,
So as per your answer, I need to show the loss amount as long term capital loss in her return and get the setoff in next few years.

06 January 2016 Yes you are right.......
