Thanks.. Also..please tell me the rules for set off of unabsorbed depreciation and business loss brought forward from previous years... Is it neccessary to set off the business loss first or it is neccessary to set off the unabsorbed depn. first? Or can we set off anythng first as per our wish?

dere is no limit prescribed ( means v can c/f it for any no. of yrs) however for busi. loss dere is t/l of 4 or 8 yrs... so v always setoff the business loss and den unabsrbd loss.. ITax Act also provides it.
