Section 112 — Carry forward and set off of business loss

(1) Where for any tax year, loss computed under the head “Profits and gains
of business or profession” (not being a loss sustained in a speculation business)
cannot be wholly set off against the income under any other head as per section
109, so much of the loss not so set off or the whole loss, as the case may be, shall
be carried forward to the following tax year and—
( i) be set off against the profits and gains, if any, of any business or profes-
sion carried on by him for that tax year; and
( ii) if the loss cannot be wholly so set off, the amount of loss not so set off
shall be carried forward to the following tax year and so on.
(2) No loss shall be carried forward under this section for more than eight tax years
immediately succeeding the tax year for which the loss was first computed.
(3) Where any allowance of part thereof under section 33(11) or 45(7) is to be carried
forward, effect shall first be given to the provision of this section.
