Capital gains tax is levied on profits arising from the transfer of a capital asset. For gains to be taxed under capital gains, there must be a capital asset that is transferred, resulting in profits. Any profits exempted under sections 54-54G are not taxed. Capital assets include all property except certain exceptions like stock-in-trade. Short term capital gains arise from assets held for 36 months or less, while long term gains are for assets held longer. Indexation of cost is used to arrive at capital gains for long term assets by factoring inflation. Profits are taxed differently based on whether the gain is short term or long term.
Losses can be set off against income of the same year or carried forward to future years to offset income.

Strict rules govern which losses can offset which incomes both currently and when carried forward. House property losses can be carried forward 8 years against house property income, while long term capital losses can only offset long term capital gains.

ALLOWABILITY OF OUTSTANDING INTEREST CONVERTED INTO DEBENTURES AS AN EXPENSE ...DVSResearchFoundatio
The Supreme Court ruled that the conversion of outstanding interest into debentures by the assessee company qualified for deduction under Section 43B of the Income Tax Act. The conversion was done under a rehabilitation plan agreed with institutional creditors to extinguish the interest liability. The Court observed that Section 43B was not meant to affect bona fide transactions, and debentures were different than loans/borrowings under Explanation 3C. It set aside the High Court's decision and allowed the assessee's claim for deduction, noting the conversion was an actual payment of interest rather than postponing the liability.

The document summarizes post-listing compliance norms for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) listed on SME exchanges in India. It discusses requirements for further capital issues, green shoe options, migration to the main board, further public offerings, and mandatory and voluntary disclosures. Key requirements include making full disclosures for further issues, obtaining shareholder approval for green shoe options, complying with eligibility criteria for migration, and submitting regular financial disclosures and statements on the use of IPO proceeds.
1) Prior to listing on an SME exchange, a company must file an offer document with SEBI and the relevant stock exchange and appoint qualified intermediaries like lead managers, registrars, and syndicate members.
2) The company must make required disclosures in the offer document and the lead manager must conduct due diligence on these disclosures.
3) After filing the offer document, the company must price the issue, keep the issue open for subscription for at least 3 days, and ensure the issue is underwritten and market making arrangements are in place.
This document outlines the criteria for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to list on the SME platforms of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) in India. The key eligibility criteria are a positive net worth, a track record of at least 3 years of operations, and operating profits over the last 2-3 years. Additional disclosure requirements include details on directors, regulatory actions, litigation status, and defaults.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

21, due to which all its extractors were damaged.
Plans were made by ABC Ltd to revive the business in 2021-22 and the business was again revived in

As per Explanation 2 to Section 28 (PGBP), “Where speculative transactions carried on by an assessee are of
such a nature as to constitute a business, the business (hereinafter referred to as "speculation business") shall
be deemed to be distinct and separate from any other business.”
The Explanation to Section 73 provides that where any part of the business of a company consists in the
purchase and sale of the shares of other companies, such a company shall be deemed to be carrying on
speculation business to the extent to which the business consists of the purchase and sale of such shares.
However, this deeming provision does not apply to the following companies –
• A company whose gross total income consists of mainly income chargeable under the heads “Income
from house property”, “Capital gains” and “Income from other sources”;
• A company, the principal business of which is –
• the business of trading in shares; or
• the business of banking; or
• the granting of loans and advances.
Thus, these companies would be exempted from the operation of this Explanation. Accordingly, if these
companies carry on the business of purchase and sale of shares of other companies, they would not be
deemed to be carrying on speculation business.

speculation business.

31. Illustration- Set off or Carry Forward of Business loss
and Unabsorbed Depreciation
ABC Limited was amalgamated with XYZ Limited on 01.04.2019. All the conditions of section 2(1B)
were satisfied.
ABC Limited has the following carried forward losses as assessed till the Assessment Year 2019-20:
Particulars Amount (Rs. In lacs)
Speculative Loss 4
Unabsorbed Depreciation 18
Unabsorbed expenditure of capital
nature on scientific research
2
Business loss 120
XYZ Limited has computed a profit of ` 140 lacs for the financial year 2019-20. The above profit of XYZ
Limited includes speculative profit of ` 10 lacs.
Compute the total income of XYZ Limited for Assessment Year 2020-21 and indicate the losses/ other
allowances to be carried forward by it.
32. Solution
Particulars Amount (Rs. In Lacs)
Business income before setting-off brought forward losses of ABC Ltd. 140
Less: Set-off of brought forward business loss of ABC Ltd. (120)
Less: Set-off of unabsorbed depreciation under section 32(2) read with
section 72A
(18)
Less: Set-off of unabsorbed capital expenditure under section 35(1)(iv) read
with section 35(4)
(2)
Total Income 0
As per section 72A(7), the accumulated loss to be carried forward specifically excludes loss sustained in a
speculative business. Therefore, speculative loss of ` 4 lacs of ABC Ltd. cannot be carried forward by XYZ
Ltd.
Section 72(2) provides that where any allowance or part thereof unabsorbed under section 32(2) (i.e.,
unabsorbed depreciation) or section 35(4) (i.e., unabsorbed scientific research capital expenditure) is to
be carried forward, effect has to be first given to brought forward business losses under section 72.
there is no restriction under the Income-tax Act, 1961 regarding set-off of normal business losses against
speculative income. Therefore, normal business losses can be set-off against profits of a speculative
business.

39. Illustration- Change in Shareholding
XYZ Lts has a business loss of Rs. 20,00,000 in FY 2019-20 (brought forward from FY 2016-17).
On 31st March 2017, the shareholding pattern of XYZ Ltd is as follows:
Shareholder Shareholding %
ABC Ltd 25%
BCD Ltd 54%
LCD Ltd 21%
There was a change in shareholding of XYZ Ltd in the year 2018-19 due to which BCD Ltd lost majority
holding. However as on 31st March 2020, there was another change in shareholding of XYZ Ltd as
follows:
Shareholder Shareholding %
ABC Ltd 25%
BCD Ltd 51%
LCD Ltd 24%
40. Solution
The loss brought forward from FY 2016-17 cannot be set-off against the income during the period
2018-19 as the holding of BCD Ltd which held 51% of the shares in the year the loss was incurred has
fallen below 51% in the year 2018-19.
However in the year 2019-20 the loss can be set-off as the holding of BCD Ltd has risen again to 51%.
41. Exception to Section 79

the following cases:
Change in shareholding due to the death of a shareholder or on account of transfer of shares by way of gift to any
relative of the shareholder making such gift

amalgamation or demerger of a foreign company subject to the condition that 51% shareholders of amalgamating or
demerged foreign company continue to be the shareholders of the amalgamated or the resulting foreign company;
Change in the shareholding pursuant to a resolution plan approved under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016
to a company, and its subsidiary and the subsidiary of such subsidiary, where,—

42. Sec 80- Submission of Return for Losses
Section 80 stipulates that, the following losses computed under the head PGBP or Capital Gains shall
be allowed to be carry forward only when such loss has been computed in pursuance of return to be
filed u/s 139(3):
• business loss to be carried forward under section 72(1)
• speculation business loss to be carried forward under section 73(2)
• loss from specified business to carried forward under section 73A(2)
• loss under the head “Capital Gains” to be carried forward under section 74(1) and
• loss incurred in the activity of owning and maintaining race horses to be carried forward under
section 74A(3).
In general, if an assessee has incurred loss during the previous year, then he may choose not to file his
return of income.
However as per Section 139(3), in order to claim carry forward of loss computed under the head
“PGBP” or “Capital Gains” a return of loss in the prescribed form shall be filed by the assesse, and all
the provisions of this Act shall apply as if it were a return under sub-section (1) of Section 139.
Unabsorbed depreciation and loss from specified business can also be carried forward even if the
return of loss is submitted after the due date, as it is not covered under Chapter VI of set off or carry
forward of losses but covered under section 32(2) and section 35AD respectively.
43. Illustration- Return of Loss
An assessee sustained a loss under the head “Income from house property” in the previous year
relevant to the assessment year 2019-20, which could not be set off against income from any other
head in that assessment year. The assessee did not furnish the return of loss within the time allowed
under section 139(1) in respect of the relevant assessment year. However, the assessee filed the return
within the time allowed under section 139(4). Can the assessee carry forward such loss for set off
against income from house property of the assessment year 2020-21?
Section 139(3) stipulates that an assessee claiming carry forward of loss under the heads “Profits and
gains of business or profession” or “Capital gains” should furnish the return of loss within the time
stipulated under section 139(1).
There is no reference to loss under the head “Income from house property” in section 139(3).
The assessee, in the instant case, has filed the return showing loss from property within the time
prescribed under section 139(4). The assessee is, therefore, entitled to carry forward such loss for set
off against the income from house property of the subsequent assessment year.
