Carry Forward & Set Off of Business Loss, But Not Unabsorbed Depreciation In Case of Profit u/s 44AD of Income Tax Act, 1961.


Section 44AD overrides Section 28 to 43 C.

Set off & carry forward of depreciation is governed by Section 32. Since Section 44AD overrides Section 32, unabsorbed depreciation cannot be set off against profits u/s 44AD.

However, carry forward & set off of business loss is governed by Section 72. Accordingly, brought forward loss can be set off against profits declared  u/s 44AD.

  1. Hello Hardik,

    If the brought forward losses is in excess and cannot be fully set off against profits under 44AD, can the remaining brought forward loss be carried forward to subsequent year? Your opinion will be highly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance
