Note

  • We know that every Company or Firm have to file I.T.R. compulsorily whether there is profit or loss.
  • However, an Individual/AOP/BOI have to file I.T.R. only when  there is Profit [GTI > 2,50,000].
  • However in some case when such Individual / HUF / BOI suffer loss still they have to file I.T.R.
  • This is because as per this section [139(3) ] certain losses can be carry forward only if return filed under Section 139(1) (i.e., within due date )
  • This section only prohibits carry forward of losses [Not set-off of losses]
  • This section does not prohibit brought forward of previous year losses
