+# CBDT Circular No. 09/2020: Loss Carry-Forward & Shareholding Continuity under Section 79
+
+## 1. The 51% Beneficial Ownership Continuity Rule (Section 79(1))
+Under Section 79(1) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, a closely-held company cannot carry forward and set off accumulated business losses incurred in previous years if there has been a change in shareholding, unless at least 51% of the voting power on the last day of the current financial year is held by shareholders who also held at least 51% of the voting power on the last day of the year in which the loss was incurred.
+
+## 2. Inapplicability of Section 79 to Unabsorbed Depreciation (Section 32(2))
+A foundational tenet of corporate direct tax law is the distinction between accumulated business losses under Section 72 and unabsorbed depreciation under Section 32(2):
+1. The Supreme Court in *CIT v. Virmani Industries Pvt. Ltd.* [1995] 216 ITR 607 (SC) held that unabsorbed depreciation of past years becomes part of the current year's depreciation allowance under Section 32(2).
+2. Consequently, Section 79 applies **exclusively to business losses** and has no application to unabsorbed depreciation.
+3. Even if a 100% change in shareholding occurs and all accumulated business losses are forfeited, the company retains 100% of its accumulated unabsorbed depreciation, which can be carried forward indefinitely and set off against any future business profits or other taxable income.
+
+## 3. Statutory Carve-Out for Eligible Startups (Section 79(2))
+To facilitate equity fundraising and venture investments in startups:
+1. An eligible startup referred to in Section 80-IAC is exempt from the strict 51% voting power continuity condition.
+2. The loss incurred during the period of seven (subsequently amended to ten) years from incorporation shall be allowed to be carried forward and set off, provided **all the shareholders** who held shares carrying voting power on the last day of the loss year continue to hold those shares on the last day of the set-off year, even if their aggregate voting percentage falls below 51% due to venture capital dilution.
+
+## 4. Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) Carve-Out
+Section 79(2)(c) explicitly exempts any change in shareholding of an Indian company arising pursuant to an approved resolution plan under Section 31 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IBC), after affording a reasonable opportunity of being heard to the jurisdictional Principal Commissioner or Commissioner.

Crucially, Section 79 restricts only accumulated business losses under Section 72; it does NOT restrict unabsorbed depreciation under Section 32(2), which is treated as current year depreciation under the landmark Supreme Court ruling in CIT v. Virmani Industries (1995) 216 ITR 607 (SC) and may be carried forward indefinitely. In addition, sub-section (2) provides statutory carve-outs: (1) Eligible DPIIT startups under Section 80-IAC are exempt from the 51% threshold provided all original shareholders continue to hold any shares; (2) Change in shareholding pursuant to an approved IBC Resolution Plan under Section 31 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016; and (3) Strategic disinvestment of public sector companies.",

+> **Valid To**: OPEN_ENDED

+
+# CBDT Circular No. 29/2019: Corporate Tax Regime Clarifications
+
+## 1. Concessional Tax Regime under Section 115BAA
+The Taxation Laws (Amendment) Act, 2019 introduced Section 115BAA into the Income-tax Act, 1961, providing domestic companies an irrevocable option to compute total income at a concessional rate of 22% (effective tax rate of 25.168% including 10% surcharge and 4% cess).
+
+## 2. Inapplicability of Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT)
+Sub-section (5A) of Section 115JB provides that the provisions of Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) under Section 115JB shall not apply to a person who has exercised the option referred to under Section 115BAA.
+
+## 3. Treatment of Accumulated MAT Credit under Section 115JAA
+Where a corporate assessee exercises the option to be governed by Section 115BAA:
+1. The company cannot set off any brought forward MAT credit accumulated under Section 115JAA against tax payable under Section 115BAA.
+2. The accumulated MAT credit balance is effectively forfeited once Form 10-IC is exercised.
+3. Therefore, corporate finance departments must model whether exhausting available MAT credit under the Old Regime results in lower cash outflow before opting into Section 115BAA.
+
+## 4. Mandatory Form 10-IC Filing Requirement
+The option must be exercised in Form 10-IC electronically on or before the due date specified under sub-section (1) of Section 139 for furnishing the return of income for any previous year relevant to the assessment year. Once exercised, the option cannot be subsequently withdrawn for the same or any other previous year.

Under Section 115JB(5A), companies opting for Section 115BAA are completely exempt from Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT). However, any accumulated brought-forward MAT credit under Section 115JAA cannot be set off and will lapse. Under the Old Corporate Tax Regime, domestic companies with turnover up to INR 400 Crore in the preceding financial year are taxed at 25% base rate (30% for turnover > 400 Crore), with progressive surcharge (7% for income between 1 Crore and 10 Crore; 12% for income exceeding 10 Crore) and 4% cess. MAT under Section 115JB applies at 15% on adjusted book profits (plus applicable surcharge and cess). Where normal tax exceeds MAT, Section 115JAA allows setting off prior MAT credit up to the difference between normal tax and MAT.",
