11 June 2013 i) If your business is money lending, O.K set off possible.

ii) If you declare income under the head 'income from other sources' set off is not possible. Please refer supreme court decision in Dr. V.P. Gopinathan's case wherein set off of bank o/d interest is denied against interest on bank F.D.
