The rule position is: You should have filed the Returns in the two years when you made the loss, irrespective of whether you paid tax or had zero or negative tax.
The tax returns must have been filed in time, i.e. before 31 Jul of the respective assessment year. Late filing of IT returns does not entitle you to set off that years loss in the subsequent years. You should have declared the loss then. The loss should have been worked out and the statement and contract notes attached along with the returns then. Those were the years when attachments were mandatory in the IT Returns. If you have done all the above, the loss would have been deemed to have been declared. Only then would you be permitted set off from the current period profits.
