But before it is ready to commence business, it is not set up. In other words, a business cannot be said to be set up before it is ready to commence. The actual commencement of the business may have some interval from the date when the business was set up, but in order to hold that the business is set up, it is to be seen as to whether it was ready to commence though actual commencement might not have been taken place.

Echjay Forgings P. Ltd. Vs. ITO (ITAT Mumbai)- As observed by Honourable Supreme Court, in the case of Chainrup Sampatram vs CIT, 24 ITR 481, “while anticipated loss is thus taken into account, anticipated profits…is not brought into account, as no prudent trader would care to show increased profit before it’s actual realization”. The underlying principle is the theory of conservation in accounting which has the sanction of Honourable Courts above.
