Hi santhosh

1. A brought forward business loss can be set off only against business income of the current year. Further only the brought forward speculation loss is to be set off against speculation income.

2. It can be set off for 4 years excluding the year in which it is incurred , that is it can be deducted in computing the income of PY 2003-04, AY 2004-05.
