Loss carry-forward restrictions: beneficial ownership and voting-power continuity determine entitlement to set off historic losses.
The section restricts carry forward and set off of losses on change in firm constitution, succession other than by inheritance, and change in shareholding of non-public companies unless continuity of beneficial ownership of shares carrying not less than fifty-one percent of voting power is maintained or specified exceptions (death, gift to relative, certain amalgamations/demergers, insolvency resolution plans with opportunity to be heard, tribunal-approved restructuring, relocation, and a start-up carve-out) apply.
