Finance Act, 2005 has amended section 43(5) so as to exclude transactions in derivatives carried out in a ―recognized stock exchange‖ for this purpose. This implies that income or loss on derivative transactions which are carried out in a ―recognized stock exchange‖ is not taxed as speculative income or loss.

In case the same cannot be set off, it can be carried forward to subsequent assessment year and set off against any other income of the subsequent year. Such losses can be carried forward for a period of 8 assessment years.
