Loss arising from speculative transactions couldn’t be set off against profit from trading in futures & options

Where the assessee, a non-banking financial company, whose principal business activity was of trading in shares and securities, incurred loss (speculative loss) as a result of its activity of trading in shares, said loss was not capable of being set off against the profits which it had earned against the business of futures and options since the latter did not constitute profits and gains of a speculative business
