for FY 24-25 AY 25-26 The assessee is in Goa and while filing his return of income everything was shown between him and spouse at 50%. only prepaid taxes were different and accordingly refund asked was for different amounts There was business loss to be set off against income from other sources. In wife case As per intimation received u/s 143(1) business loss was adjusted against income from other sources However in husband case as per intimation u/s 143(1) business loss is not adjusted against income from other sources resulting in demand rectification request was filed u/s 154 but in the order again the benefit of business loss is not given and demand is confirmed My question is what can be done in above case so that business loss is adjusted against other income like already given in wife case ?

The rejection of your business loss set-off is likely a technical "matching" error by the CPC. Since your wife received the benefit, your case is strong. You should file a detailed rectification request referencing her PAN and the community property rules, or move to a First Appeal (CIT-A) if the 154 order remains unfavorable.
