The Kerala Agricultural Income Tax Act, 1991 does not allow an amalgamated company to treat the amalgamating company's losses as its own for set-off. Section 12 permits carry forward only by the person who actually sustained the loss, and Section 54 on succession to business deals with assessment and recovery of dues, not transfer of loss relief to the successor.
